Let’s begin by converting into the common denominator of 18:

1/2 = 9/18 since 2 • 9 = 18 and 1 • 9 = 9

5/6 = 15/18 since 5 • 3 = 15 and 6 • 3 = 18

Now we can add accordingly:

9/18 + 7/18 + 15/18

9 + 7 = 16

16 + 15 = 31

Our final answer is 31/18, but we aren’t done. We still have to convert to simplest form:

18 • 1 = 18

18 + 13 = 31

In terms of simplest form conversion, our mixed number conversion is 1 13/18.

Our answer is 1 13/18.
