Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re using fraction strips to add fractions with the same denominator — that means we just add the top numbers (numerators) and keep the bottom number (denominator) the same.

Problem 1:
We have a pink strip showing
2/3 and a blue strip showing
1/3.
Add them:
2 + 1 = 3 → so,
3/3
But 3/3 is the same as
1 whole.
✔ Final answer for #1:
1

Problem 3:
Purple strip:
4/6, yellow strip:
1/6
Add: 4 + 1 = 5 →
