=#47/42#

=#1 5/42#

When adding or subtracting fractions we need to find a common denominator. For 6 and 7, the lowest common denominator is 42.

Make equivalent fractions.

#2/7 + 5/6" "rarr (2xx6)/(7xx6) + (5xx7)/(6xx7)#

=#(12+35)/42#

=#47/42#

=#1 5/42#

#1 5/42#

#color(blue)(2/7+5/6#

If we need to add fractions, we should have the same denominator.
So, we need to find the least common denominator of #7 and 6#

It is #42#

Convert the initial fractions

#rarr2/7+5/6#

#rarr(2xx6)/(7xx6)+(5xx7)/(6xx7)#

#rarr12/42+35/42#

#rarr(12+35)/42#

#rarr47/42#

#color(green)(rArr1 5/42#

Hope this helps.... :)
