Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. Convert \frac{1}{2} and \frac{2}{3} to fractions with denominator 6.

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

Since \frac{3}{6} and \frac{4}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 3 and 4 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{6}=1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{6}{6}.

$$\frac{7}{6}=\frac{6}{6}$$

Compare \frac{7}{6} and \frac{6}{6}.

$$\text{false}$$
