Question

d. \\(\frac{5}{6} + \frac{1}{2} =\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find a common denominator

The denominators are 6 and 2. The least common denominator is 6. Rewrite \(\frac{1}{2}\) with denominator 6: \(\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1\times3}{2\times3}=\frac{3}{6}\)

Step2: Add the fractions

Now add \(\frac{5}{6}\) and \(\frac{3}{6}\): \(\frac{5}{6}+\frac{3}{6}=\frac{5 + 3}{6}=\frac{8}{6}\)

Step3: Simplify the fraction

Divide numerator and denominator by 2: \(\frac{8\div2}{6\div2}=\frac{4}{3}\) or \(1\frac{1}{3}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{4}{3}\) (or \(1\frac{1}{3}\))
