So the least common denominator should be 12.

your equation after converting is then 2 5/12 + 6 2/12.

now theres two ways from here.

1. Simply add and get 8 7/12

2. Or convert everything to twelfths by multiplying both your 2 and 6 by 12 and then adding the 5 and 6 getting to fractions. then add. 29/12 + 74/12

103/12 or 8 7/12

5/12 X 6/6= 30/72

1/6 X 12/12= 12/72

72 is the common denominator.. so now you can solve for it!

2 30/70 + 6 12/72= 8 42/ 72

Your not done yet.. because you can simplify the fraction.. think like this.. what can 42/72 break down two or what can evenly divide the fraction into a smaller number…

obviously the highest number possible to break 42/72 is 6..

so divide 42/72 by 6/6 which = to 7/12..

so the answer is 8 7/12…

now the fractions

1/6 is equal to 2/12(i simply multiplied both by 2 so we can get the same denominator as the first fraction. now that we have the same denominator we can start adding

2/12 + 5/12 = 7/12

therefore the answer is 8 7/12

6 1/6 is the same as 12/12+12/12+12/12+12/12+12/12+12/12+2/12 or 74/12

so 29/12 plus 74/12 is 109/12or 8 7/12
