1/6 + 1/2
---
calculate a common denominator: 6*2 = 12
---
adjust the numerators so we can apply the common denominator:
---
(1*2)/12 + (1*6)/12
---
simplify:
---
2/12 + 6/12
8/12
---
simplify further by finding common factors:
---
8 = 4*2
12 = 4*3
---
8/12 = (4*2)/(4*3)
---
cancel common factors:
---
(4*2)/(4*3)
2/3
---
answer:
2/3
