Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=1-\frac{1}{3}$$

Since \frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+1}{3}=1-\frac{1}{3}$$

Add 1 and 1 to get 2.

$$\frac{2}{3}=1-\frac{1}{3}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{3}{3}.

$$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3}{3}-\frac{1}{3}$$

Since \frac{3}{3} and \frac{1}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3-1}{3}$$

Subtract 1 from 3 to get 2.

$$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$$

Compare \frac{2}{3} and \frac{2}{3}.

$$\text{true}$$
