Solve: Adding Fractions 1/6 + 3/6 with Common Denominators

Question

Solve the following exercise:

$\frac{1}{6}+\frac{3}{6}=\text{?}$

00:00 Solve

00:03 Let's divide our complete rectangle into 6 parts

00:09 Let's color the parts corresponding to each fraction

00:14 Let's combine all the colored parts and place in the numerator

00:21 And this is the solution to the question

To solve this problem, let's add the two fractions: $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{3}{6}$ .

Step 1: Confirm the denominators are the same. In this case, both fractions have the denominator of 6.

Step 2: Add the numerators while keeping the common denominator:

Step 3: Combine the result from Step 2:

$\frac{1}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = \frac{4}{6}$

Thus, the solution to the problem is $\frac{4}{6}$ .

$\frac{4}{6}$
