Neil has 2/3 pound of plant food in one container and 1/6 pound of plant food in another container. Which model could be used to help Neil find out how much plant food he has altogether?

Answer 1

Not having been given a choice, here is mine.

(2 / 3) + (1 / 6)

(4 / 6) + (1 / 6)

5 / 6

Answer 2

2/3 + 1/6

2/3 x 2/2 = 4/6

4/6 +1/6 = 5/6

Answer 3

total food is (2/3)+(1/6)

in case of fractions addition/subtraction, a common denominator is required

so we got to find the LCD of the denominators we have (3 and 6) then change the fraction accordingly

leading us to 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6 pounds total
