To add two fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator for 2/3 and 1/6 is 6. To make the denominators the same, you need to multiply the first fraction by 2/2 and the second fraction by 1/1. This gives you 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6. So, two thirds plus one sixth equals five sixths.
No. The smallest common denominator is 6 .
