Answer:

The solution is
6(7)/(10).

Explanation:

It is given that rule start at
5(1)/(2) add
1(1)/(5).

From the given information, we get the expression


5(1)/(2)+1(1)/(5)

Simplify the complex fraction.


(10+1)/(2)+(5+1)/(5)


(11)/(2)+(6)/(5)

Taking LCM, we get


(11* 5+6* 2)/(2* 5)


(55+12)/(10)


(67)/(10)


6(7)/(10)

Therefore the he solution is
6(7)/(10).
