To add 1/6 and 5/12, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 6 and 12 is 12. So, we can rewrite 1/6 as 2/12. Then, adding 2/12 and 5/12 gives us 7/12. Therefore, 1/6 + 5/12 simplifies to 7/12.

1/6 + 5/12 would first need to have common denominators to be added. 6 & 12 can both be 12 by just multiplying the first fraction by 2.

1/6 (2) + 5/12 = 2/12 + 5/12 = 7/12.

7/12 is already the simplest form that the fraction can take.
