The denominator of (sqrt(5)+sqrt(6))/color(blue)3 is color(blue)3 which is already a rational;
further "simplification" is not possible.

Explanation:

You could rewrite the given expression as sqrt(5)/3+sqrt(6)/3 if you felt this was "simpler";
or you could use a calculator to determine an approximate value for this expression.,
