Dd does it like this
2/3 + 1/6
Both denominators need to be the same and whatever you do to the denominator you do to the numerator so it becomes...
4/6 + 1/6 =5/6
Apparently they were told a different way of doing it today which has confused her so she asked me
I have no idea as that's exactly how I would have done it
Any clues?
