Answer: 11/30

Explanation:

If Alexa's family drove 1/6 of the trip on the first day, and 1/5 of the trip on the second day, the total distance they have driven can be found by adding these fractions:

1/6 + 1/5

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator:

1/6 + 1/5 = 5/30 + 6/30 = 11/30

So the family has completed 11/30 of the trip.
