My feeble mind this am says 5/6 but not sure with the new math if that is right.

Yeah. “Lowest common denominator “comes to mind a lot, these days.

Oh you got it right but with the way they teach it now you would need two pages of work to solve it.

Amen. I did not finish my first coffee and not awake yet came up with 5/6 on like blue.dog seconds. Or is time still measured in colors and animals.
Math is hard… wait. Now I remember time is measured in Parsecs.

Most importantly how do you feel about that answer?

I got that answer before I finished reading the sentence. No paper required.

But I got a STEM degree in 1967...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If memory serves me in my dotage, 1/2 + 1/3 is not even high school level math. Maybe 6th. grade level?
