Solve the Addition: 1/6 + 1/6 with Like Denominators

Question

Solve the following exercise:

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

00:00 Solve

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

00:07 Let's color the parts corresponding to each fraction

00:11 Let's combine all the colored parts and place in the numerator

00:17 And this is the solution to the question

To solve this problem, let's add the fractions $\frac{1}{6}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$ .

Step 1: Confirm that the denominators are the same, which they are. Both fractions have a denominator of 6.
Step 2: Add the numerators together: $1 + 1 = 2$ .
Step 3: Write the result as a fraction over the common denominator: $\frac{2}{6}$ .

Thus, the sum of $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6}$ is $\frac{2}{6}$ .

Therefore, the correct answer is choice 3: $\frac{2}{6}$ .

$\frac{2}{6}$
