Reduce to simplest form. (6)/(3)+(-(1)/(6))=

Simplify Fraction: Simplify the first fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator. (6)/(3) = 6 ÷ 3 = 2Combine Fractions: Combine the simplified first fraction with the second fraction. 2 + (-(1)/(6)) = 2 - 1/6Convert Whole Number: Convert the whole number to a fraction with the same denominator as the second fraction to combine them. 2 = (2 * 6)/(6) = 12/6Subtract Fractions: Subtract the second fraction from the first fraction. (12/6) - (1/6) = (12 - 1)/6 = 11/6Check for Simplification: Check if the final fraction can be simplified further. 11/6 cannot be simplified further because 11 and 6 have no common factors other than 1.

Q. Reduce to simplest form.

\newline

\frac{6}{3}+\left(-\frac{1}{6}\right)=

Simplify Fraction: Simplify the first fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator. $\newline$ $(6)/(3) = 6 \div 3 = 2$
Combine Fractions: Combine the simplified first fraction with the second fraction. $2 + \left(-\frac{1}{6}\right) = 2 - \frac{1}{6}$
Convert Whole Number: Convert the whole number to a fraction with the same denominator as the second fraction to combine them. $\newline$ $2 = \frac{2 \times 6}{6} = \frac{12}{6}$
Subtract Fractions: Subtract the second fraction from the first fraction. $\newline$ $(\frac{12}{6}) - (\frac{1}{6}) = (\frac{12 - 1}{6}) = \frac{11}{6}$
Check for Simplification: Check if the final fraction can be simplified further. $\frac{11}{6}$ cannot be simplified further because $11$ and $6$ have no common factors other than $1$ .
