Question

Using a rectangle as a whole, represent the following problem, include the steps and the answer.

1/3 + 2/4

Answer 1

5/6 i think

Answer 2

how do you get that?

Answer 3

I think, first you find the GCF of the two denominators, which is 12. Multiply the numerators by what the denominator used to get to 12, so 1/3 turns to 4/12, and 1/2 turns to 6/12. Then add both to get 10/12, and simplify to get 5/6. Hope this is it, unless I'm mistaken.

Answer 4

but I don't understand the rectangle part.
