= 14/6 answer

Hey there! :) 

1 5/6 + 1/2

We need to simplify this. But first, these fractions both need the same denominator. Our LCD (lowest common denominator) is 6, so let's multiply 1/2 by 3/3 so that 6 becomes our denominator for both fractions.

1/2 × 3/3 = 3/6

So, switch 3/6 into 1/2,

Our new question looks like this :

1 5/6 + 3/6

Now, because they have the same denominator, we can very easily simplify this.

We'll simplify this in chunks.

Whole numbers : 1 + 0 = 1

Numerators (top numbers on a fraction) : 5 + 3 = 8

Denominators (bottom numbers on a fraction) : 6 →it always stays the same.

So, our answer is 1 8/6.

Review the answer choices. They are (mostly) all improper fractions, so let's get rid of our whole number.

(6 × 1) + 8

Simplify.

6 + 8 = 14

So, our numerator is 14 while our denominator stays the same.

Thus, our answer is 14/6

Our answer is [A] : 14/6
