Answer:
1 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to find like denominators (denominators that are the same). Since 6 is a multiple of 2, you can leave the 5/6 as it is and only have to change the 1/2.
3 x 2 = 6
Since 3x2 is 6, multiply the 1 by 3 as well.
And you get: 3/6
Now you can add the two fractions.
5/6 + 3/6 = 8/6 *Always remember you only have to add the numerators, not the denominators!
Now you have to simplify (depends on the instructions you receive).
Since 6 goes into 8 once, you get 1, and still have 2/6 left over. You can still simplify 1 2/6 to 1 1/3. (Because 2 can go into itself once and 3 times, which results in 1/3.)
So the answer is 1 1/3.
