$\frac{5}{6}$ $5/6$ or 5/6

Explanation:

you can rewrite 2/3 plus 1/6 as:

$\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{6}$ $2/3 + 1/6$

To add fractions you need to have a common denominator (the bottom half of the fraction). In this case $6$ $6$ is a common denominator. To convert 2/3 we need to multiply it by the appropriate form of 1. We can multiply by 1 because 1 times anything does not change the value:

$(\frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3}) + \frac{1}{6} \Rightarrow \frac{2 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 3} + \frac{1}{6} \Rightarrow \frac{4}{6} + \frac{1}{6} \Rightarrow \frac{5}{6}$ $(2/2 * 2/3) + 1/6 => (2 * 2)/(2 * 3) + 1/6 => 4/6 + 1/6 => 5/6$
