    Answer: 5/6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM (2, 3) = 6. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 2 * 3 = 6. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.

    In words - one half plus one third = five sixths.
