a third added to five sixths
=> 1/3 + 5/6 ..
=> make them into like fractions ...(either by LCM or by the way i did ...)
=> 1/3 * 6 + 5/6 * 3
=> 6/18 + 15/18
=> 21/18
=> 7/6 ..

Hope it helps !!!!

= 1 / 3 + 5 / 6 LCM = 6

= 1/3 * (2/2) + 5 / 6

= 2 / 6 + 5 / 6

= (2 + 5 ) / 6

= 7 / 6

= 7 / 6 or 1 and 1 / 6
