Jason wrote the mixed number 1 1/3 as the sum of three fractions. None of the fractions had a denominator of 3. How is this possible? What fractions might jason have used?

convert 1/3 to 2/6
divide 1 to 1/2+1/2
3/6+1/2+1/2= 1 1/3

The required sum of the fractions whose sums result 1 1/3 are 2 / 6 + 1 / 2 + 1/2.
