130 sixtieths, for example.
3/6 is 1/2 simplified
That can be reduced to 11 and 1/3 or 34/3
You have to find the common denominator for the fractions, so multiply the "half" (2) by the "thirds" (3). These two numbers multiplied with give 6 as a common denominator. Then multiply the 1 by the 3, which will give 3/6ths, and the 2 by the other 2, which will give 4/6ths. Hmmm! it seems that 4/6ths is greater than 3/6ths, so you have to add a whole to the 3/6ths to make a big enough fraction to subtract. Doing that will give you 9/6ths and you can subtract the 4/6ths. So the answer would be 5/6ths. Try it.
33/6 = 31/2 = 7/2 or 3.5
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 3/6 is equal to 1/2 or one half.

1/3 + 1/2
1 6ths of 30 is equal to 5
5/6ths
62/6
If you convert both numbers into 6ths it is easier to work out. 1 and 1/2 is 9/6ths and 2/3rds is 4/6ths. so, 9/6ths - 4/6ths = 5/6ths.
