Solve 1/2*1/3+2/3quad

$$\frac { 1 } { 2 } \times \frac { 1 } { 3 } + \frac { 2 } { 3 } \quad$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{6}\approx 0.833333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply \frac{1}{2} times \frac{1}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{1\times 1}{2\times 3}+\frac{2}{3}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 1}{2\times 3}.

$$\frac{1}{6}+\frac{2}{3}$$

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

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

Since \frac{1}{6} and \frac{4}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 1 and 4 to get 5.

$$\frac{5}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{2 \cdot 3} = 0.8333333333333334$$
