To find -

The value of $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}$

Solution -

In the addition of fraction number it is important that the denominator of the given fractions should be same.

To get same denominators take LCM of all the denominator values.

LCM 2 and 3 is 6.

So,

Multiply 1/2 by 3/3 and 1/3 by 2/2 we get

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

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

$= \frac{5}{6}$
