What is 1 over 5 plus 1 over 6?

Answer 1

1/5 + 1/6 we must give them both common denominators. We do this by multiplying the fractions by fractions which are equivalent to 1 - in this case, 6/6 and 5/5

This gives us 1/5 times 6/6 + 1/6 times 5/5

That becomes 6/30 + 5/30

And that gives 11/30

And this cannot be simplified.
