Math Problem Statement

1/3+3/2

Solution

The expression 13+32\frac{1}{3} + \frac{3}{2} can be solved as follows:

  1. Find a common denominator. The denominators are 3 and 2, and the least common denominator (LCD) is 6.
  2. Convert both fractions to have this common denominator: 13=26,32=96\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6}, \quad \frac{3}{2} = \frac{9}{6}
  3. Add the fractions: 26+96=116\frac{2}{6} + \frac{9}{6} = \frac{11}{6}

Thus, 13+32=116\frac{1}{3} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{11}{6}.
