Question

Can u add 1/2 and 1/3 to get 2/8 explain

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2+1/3=2/8

we get lcm from 2 and 3 =6

Now, 6 divide by 2 =3 and multiply by 1*3=3

Similarly, 6 divide by 3 = 2 and multiply by 1 *2 =2 and

Now 3+2/6 = 5/6

On the second hand 5/6 = 2/8

and now 2/8*6/5 = 12/40= 3/10

Answer 2

Answer:

see this answer is not corect

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction can be added only if the denominators are same

And, to make the denominator proper find the LCM of the denominator (i.e, 6)

So when you make the denominator proper than follow steps

LCM OF 1/2 AND 1/3=6

1x3= 3. 1x2= 2

2x3=6 3x2= 6

=2+3/6 = 5/6 ans..

Note- You can only add and subtract in fraction

There is no need of making denominators same keep as it is and just multiply /Divide

Hope it helps
