Answer:

1/6 + 2/3 = 5/6

Explanation:

When adding fractions you have to find a common denominator(which is the bottom number of a fraction). So 1/6 and 2/3 do not have a common denominator so you have to multiply 2/3 by 2/2 to get a 6 in the denominator. 2/3 x 2/2 = 4/6. The you just add the two. 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6
