Question

add.
\frac{5}{6} + \frac{2}{3} =
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Find a common denominator

The denominators are 6 and 3. The least common denominator is 6. Rewrite $\frac{2}{3}$ with denominator 6: $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\times2}{3\times2}=\frac{4}{6}$

Step2: Add the fractions

Now add $\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{4}{6}$: $\frac{5}{6}+\frac{4}{6}=\frac{5 + 4}{6}=\frac{9}{6}$

Step3: Simplify the result

Simplify $\frac{9}{6}$ by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3: $\frac{9\div3}{6\div3}=\frac{3}{2}$ or $1\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$\frac{3}{2}$ (or $1\frac{1}{2}$)
