Yesterday, We had a reliever in our class. One of the things we learnt about was fractions, and simplifying them. Firstly he said the simplest fraction could be 1/2. So he wrote up 1/2 + 1/3 = ....
We had to figure it out. I realised if you times the denominators , which would be 2 x 3 = 6, you have a new denominator. /6. Then I thought , and how many sixths make up 1/2 . That would be 3/6. Then I thought again, How much is 1/3 in sixths , that is 2/6 . So then I added 2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6. And that is how I worked out my answer.
