Current problem statement.

5 1/2 + 6 1/3 =

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 × 3}{2 × 3} = \frac{3}{6}

\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 × 2}{3 × 2} = \frac{2}{6}

The fraction denominator are different, we must compute the Least Common Denominator ... 6

((+5) + (+6)) + \frac{((3) + (2))}{6} =

Group whole numbers and fractions.

(5 + 6) + \frac{(3 + 2)}{6} =

(11) + \frac{(5)}{6} =
