Question

If someone can just like... explain this to me it would be a huge help. Im so lost. 1/2+2/3

Answer 1

first step is to make the denominators equal.

in this case, you would multiply the denominators by each other's fraction(so that the nominator is evened out).

\[{1 \times 3 \over 2 \times 3} + {2 \times 2 \over 3 \times 2}\]

Answer 2

\[{3 \over 6} + {4 \over 6}\]

Answer 3

Okay.. then what?

Answer 4

Add the two fractions together. what do you get?

Answer 5

Answer 6

or 7/12...

Answer 7

your first answer was correct. Denominators don't change during addition.
