Question

Write the following using numbers, literals and signs of basic operations:

One-sixth of sum of $a$ and $b$.

Answer 1

Step $\mathbf{1}$: Sum of $a$ and $b$:

Sum of $a$ and $b$ is $\mathit{a}\mathbf{}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{}\mathit{b}$.

Step $\mathbf{2}$: One - sixth of sum of $a$ and $b$:

One-sixth of $a+b$ is $\frac{\mathbf{1}}{\mathbf{6}}\mathbf{(}\mathit{a}\mathbf{}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{}\mathit{b}\mathbf{)}$.

Hence, the final answer is $\frac{\mathbf{1}}{\mathbf{6}}\mathbf{(}\mathit{a}\mathbf{}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{}\mathit{b}\mathbf{)}$.
