The simplified fraction is 20/27.

To evaluate the expression and write the answer as a fraction in simplest form, let's follow the given expression:

1/3 + 11/27

​To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 27. So, we rewrite the first fraction with the denominator 27:

9/27​ +

Now, we can add the numerators and keep the common denominator:

9+11/ 27​ = 20/27

​So, the simplified fraction is 20/27.
