If you are serious then I suggest you get out of uni now.

Seriously bad attempt at trolling and attention seeking.

Answer is two thirds.

You're applying for uni and can't do maths you should have learnt when you were 7?

Mmmkay.

There are two pretty easy ways to do this but which one you use depends on whether you want the answer as a fraction or a decimal number?

to what fraction or decimal?

How does being bad at maths not give me the right to go to university?

OP, reconsider your future educational plans. May I suggest starting with pre-school and working from there?

2 + 1 = 3
6 + 3 = 9

=> (implies) 3/9

=> two thirds

simples

Guys, there's this plane, right, and a conveyor belt ...

From intuition it's pretty simple, 2/6 is 1/3. 1/3+1/3=2/3
