$3 \frac{5}{6} = 3 + \frac{5}{6} = (\frac{6}{6} \cdot 3) + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{18}{6} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{18 + 5}{6} = \frac{23}{6}$ $3 5/6 = 3 + 5/6 = (6/6 * 3) + 5/6 = 18/6 + 5/6 = (18 + 5)/6 = 23/6$

Explanation:

Another method is:

Multiply the the integer by the denominator: $3 \cdot 6 = 18$ $3 * 6 = 18$
Add the numerator to this result: $18 + 5 = 23$ $18 + 5 = 23$
Put this result over the denominator: $\frac{23}{6}$ $23/6$
