Answer 1

17/30

Explanation:

2/5 + 1/6 = 17/30

Make them easier to add by making them have the same denominator.

2/5 = 12/30

1/6 = 5/30

12/30 + 5/30 = 17/30

Answer 2

17/30

Explanation:

First, we need to get the lowest common denominator, which is 30 (5 times 6 and 6 times 5) since we multiplied the denominators we have to multiply the numerators by the same numbers (6 and 5) now we get 12/30 + 5/30, which equals 17/30
