whats is the sum of 5/6 + 2/3
To add 5/6 and 2/3, we need to find a common denominator, which is the least common multiple of 6 and 3, which is 6.
Then, we convert 5/6 and 2/3 into fractions with a denominator of 6:
5/6 is already in terms of 6, so it remains the same.
To convert 2/3 into a fraction with a denominator of 6, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2:
2/3 * (2/2) = 4/6.
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them together:
5/6 + 4/6 = 9/6.
However, since 9/6 is an improper fraction (the numerator is larger than the denominator), we can simplify it by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
9/6 รท (3/3) = 3/2.
So, 5/6 + 2/3 = 3/2 or 1 1/2.
