Question

Solve 2⁄3 + 5⁄6 and put answer in simplest form. A. 11⁄2 B. 7⁄6 C. 2⁄3 D. 9⁄6

Answer 1

We have the equation:

$\frac{2}{3}+\frac{5}{6}$

So we need to get both of the terms to have a common denominator. We can do this by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of the first term by 2 - this allows it to remain the same number, it just increases the value of the denominator:

$\frac{2}{2}*\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{6}$

So then we can rewrite the expression:

$\frac{4}{6}+\frac{5}{6}$

And then we can add these fractions:

$\frac{4}{6}+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{9}{6}$

Therefore, the answer would be D) $\frac{9}{6}$

**Note: These answer could further be simplified to $\frac{3}{2}$ by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3, however the answer choice is not there - for future reference though, you could further reduce.
