Answer:


(59)/(42) or
1(17)/(42)

Explanation:


(4)/(7) + (5)/(6) (These fractions are not like and we can't add them so we must convert them to like fractions by multiplying them to get a common denominator, the LCM of 7 and 6 is also their product which is 42, because these numbers are co-prime)


(4*6)/(7*6) = (24)/(42), (5*7)/(6*7) = (35)/(42) (We can add these now that they are like)


(24 + 35)/(42) = (59)/(42) or
1(17)/(42)
