Solve: 1/4 × (1/3 + 1/2) Fraction Operation Problem

According to the order of operations, we will first solve the expression in parentheses.

Note that since the denominators are not common, we will look for a number that is both divisible by 2 and 3. That is 6.

We will multiply one-third by 2 and one-half by 3, now we will get the expression:

$\frac{1}{4}\times(\frac{2+3}{6})=$

Let's solve the numerator of the fraction:

$\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{5}{6}=$

We will combine the fractions into a multiplication expression:

$\frac{1\times5}{4\times6}=\frac{5}{24}$
