Explanation:

So, this is your problem:

6 and 5/6 + 6 and 1/2

First you need to make the fractions have a common denominator.

Multiply 1/2 by 3/3 to get 3/6.

Now you have 6 and 5/6 + 6 and 3/6.

Add the fractions together.

5/6 + 3/6 = 8/6 or 1 and 2/6

So now you have 6 + 6 + 1 and 2/6

Add the whole numbers together.

6 + 6 + 1 = 13

Now add the fraction.

13 and 2/6 (Simplify 2/6 to 1/3)

So, now your final answer is 13 and 1/3
