1/10 is missing as if u turn all the other fractions into decimals u will see that they all equal to 0.9 so the last bit must be 0.1 which is 1/10

u can also add the fractions
so u have to change the denominator so that all their denominator is the same using the cross method

1/3 +1/6


6/18+3/18


=9/18


=1/2


1/2+2/5


=5/10+4/10


=9/10


So the missing part is 1/10
