Math Problem Statement

1/2 + 1/3

Solution

The image shows the following math problem:

12+13\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}

To solve this, we'll find a common denominator.

Step 1: Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)

The denominators are 2 and 3. The least common denominator is 6.

Step 2: Convert the Fractions

Convert each fraction to have a denominator of 6.

12=36and13=26\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{6} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6}

Step 3: Add the Fractions

Now that both fractions have the same denominator, add them together:

36+26=56\frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6}

So, the answer is 56\frac{5}{6}.
