$2/3 + 1/3$ can be added then simplified. See explanation.

1) Write out problem

$2/3 + 1/3 = ???$

2) Proceed to add 2 and 1 (the numerators: numbers on top of fraction bar) because you have a common denominator.

3) In the numerator: 2 plus 1 equals 3. This gives $(2+1)/3$

4) now write out your answer: $3/3$

5) Can you simplify this? You sure can!

3 over 3 means like having all 3 slices of a pizza that was cut into 3 pieces. You have everything.

6) That means that $3/3=1$

Hope this helps!
