In adding fractions, there are three steps to follow.

Step 1. make sure that the denominators are the same.

  1         3      
----  +  -----
  6         6

Since both of our denominators are the same. We proceed to step 2.

Step 2. Add the numerators and place them above the denominator.

1 + 3         4
-------   =  ----
   6            6

Step 3. Simplify the fraction.

  4          2
----   =   ----
  6          3

The initial fraction is simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2.
