%281%2F5+%2B+1%2F6%29%29
%28%281%2A6%29%281%2F5%29+%2B%285%2A1%29+%281%2F6%29%29%29cross multiply or multiply by the LCM
%286%2F5+%2B+5%2F6%29%29
%286%2B5%29%2F%285%2A6%29%29 multiply the denominators
%28%286%2B5%29%2F30%29%29
%2811%2F30%29 now, you can add the numerators because the denominators are the same.
