First of all, we must do the multiplification (due to PEMDAS rules):


1/3 + 5/6


Second, we find and apply the LCD: The LCD is 6, and so we have


2/6 + 5/6 = 7/6 (answer)

First, multiply 1*5/6.

Problem becomes: 1/3+5/6.

Easy to solve addition of fractions:

1/3+5/6=7/6

Answer is 7/6.

Hope this helps :)
