Question

What is 1/5 + 1/6=
Pls I need help

Answer 1

11/30

Explanation:

To add fractions, you need to find the common denominators

the common denominator for 5 and 6 is 30, because 5*6 = 30

1/5 times (6/6) to get a common denominator of 30. Remember, you have to multiply the numerator by 6 too!

1 6 6

_ x _ = _

5 6 30

Now, we just have to multiply 1/6 by (5/5) to get a common denominator of thirty.

1 5 5

_ x _ = _

6 5 30

5 6 11

_ + _ = _

30 30 30

You final answer should be 11/30

Answer 2

So the first step would be is to multiply the denominators so you would get this:

6/30 + 5/30

Then you would have 11/30 no simplification needed.
