What is the sum of 2/6+1/3?
=======Solution====
6 × 3 = 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...... + ......
18 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 × 3 = 6
1 × 6 = 6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6 + 6 = 12
18 18 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can we reduce 12/18?
Since 12 and 18 are both divisible by 3, you would divide them by 3. Then, you are left with the fraction 46 . But, since 4 and 6 are both divisible by 2, you would do that. Finally, you end up with 23 with is in the lowest terms.
Therefore the answer of 2/6+1/3 is 2/3.
