Evaluate the expression: 13+16\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}

MathBot Answer:

13+16=12=0.5 \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of 13\frac{1}{3} and 16\frac{1}{6} is 66. 13+16=1232+1161=2+16=36=12 \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6} &= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{3 \cdot 2} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{2 + 1}{6} \\ &= \frac{3}{6} \\&= \frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}
