First piece of pie = 15/18

Second piece of pie = 13/6.

We need to find the total value.

In order to find the total value, we need to add both fractions.

Total value = First piece of pie + Second piece of pie.

=15/18 + 13/6.

In order to add those fractions, we need to find the common denominators.

We have denominators 18 and 6.

Common denominator of 18 and 6 is 18.

So, we need to multiply second fraction 13/6 by 3 in top and bottom to make the denominator of second fraction equals 18.

Therefore, 15/18 + 13/6 = 15/18 + 13*3/6*3

=15/18 +39/18.

=(15+39)/18.

=54/18.

Therefore, Fiona had 54/18 in total.
