To find out how much water Lee drank in all, we need to add the fractions of the glass of water he drank in the morning and in the afternoon.

In the morning, Lee drank 1/6 of a glass of water.
In the afternoon, Lee drank 1/2 of a glass of water.

To add these fractions, we need to have the same denominator. The least common denominator between 6 and 2 is 6.

The fraction 1/2 can be converted to 3/6 (because 2*3 = 6 and 1*3 = 3).

So, now we have:
Morning: 1/6
Afternoon: 3/6

Adding these together:
1/6 + 3/6 = 4/6

This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

So, 4/6 simplifies to 2/3.

Therefore, Lee drank 2/3 of a glass of water in all.
