Hi =D We must find equivalent fractions:

1/2 can be 3/6.
If you have any questions, do this:

[tex] \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{x + y}{least common multiple between 2 and 6 = 6} [/tex]

How do I find x and y?
I have to do (6 / 2) x 1. (it is x = 3)
I don't have to do (6 / 6) x 1, but if u wanna do... It (it would be y = 1/6)

3/6 - 1/6 = 2/6
