so what they want you to do is add simplify 5/45 5/45=1/9
5 and 5/6+1/9 5 and 5/6=5+5/6 so 5+5/6+1/9 we only need to focus on the 5/6+1/9 part so to add convert bottom number to same number answer is 18 multiply 5/6 by 3/3 to get 15/18 multiply 1/9 by 2/2 to get 2/18 add 15/18+2/18=17/18 answer is they recycled 5 and 17/18
