Here is how: You get the fractions and find a common denominator, which means: 1/2 + 1/3 - you find a number in both of the bottom numbers times tables so here with 2 and 3 it would be 6. You then times the number on the top of the fraction by whatever you times-ed the bottom number by to get the common denominator. Here: 1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6. You then add them the top numbers together, place the common denominator underneath and bobs your uncle, you get 5/6.
