1/4 + 1/6 = What?
Need to figure out a common denominator:
4 and 6 I bet would work as 12: so lets try it:
3 x 4 = 12
2 x 6 = 12
Okay, now convert the fractions:
3 X 1/4 = 3/12
2 X 1/6 = 2/12
Add the results
3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12
And 5/12 cant be reduced sothat's the correct answer

One sixth plus four sixths equals five sixths, or 5/6.
The sum is 5/18
2/9 + 1/6 is 7/18
Well, isn't that a happy little math question! When you add one-third and one-sixth together, you can simplify it by finding a common denominator, which is six. So, one-third is equal to two-sixths. When you add two-sixths and one-sixth together, you get three-sixths, which simplifies to one-half. Isn't that just lovely?
Firstly convert one quarter into eigths. Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2. Therefore 1/4=2/8. Now you can add 2/8 to 1/8. Therefore 1/4 plus 1/8=3/8.
