Solution Steps

Divide 1 by 1 to get 1.

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

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

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

Since \frac{3}{6} and \frac{1}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 3 and 1 to get 4.

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

Reduce the fraction \frac{4}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

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

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

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

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