Answer:
[tex]\frac{6}{12}[/tex] [tex]= \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{1}{6} +\frac{2}{4}[/tex]
Find LCM of 6 and 4 which is 12.
6*2=12
4*3=12
Do the same to the top parts of each part.
1*2=2
2*3=6
[tex]\frac{2}{12} + \frac{4}{12}[/tex]
Now you can add them easily
[tex]\frac{2}{12} + \frac{6}{12} = \frac{6}{12}[/tex]
Because 6 and 12 can still be divided by the same number (6) you need to divided it in order to get a simpler fraction.
6÷6=1
12÷6=2
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
(An improper fraction is one in which the numerator is larger than the denominator. Nothing in this equation was an improper fraction. Though, for example, [tex]\frac{12}{6}[/tex] is an improper fraction. To get a mixed number/whole number. You would simply divide the numerator, 12, by the denominator 6. In doing so, you would get 2)
