The fraction from the first rectangle is 1/6 and the fraction from the second rectangle is 4/5. To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator will be the product of the denominators, which is 6 * 5 = 30.
To make the denominators the same, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/6 by 5 and the numerator and denominator of 4/5 by 6.
So, 1/6 becomes (1 * 5)/(6 * 5) = 5/30, and 4/5 becomes (4 * 6)/(5 * 6) = 24/30.
Now we can simply add these fractions together: 5/30 + 24/30 = 29/30.
Therefore, the sum of the fractions from the picture is 29/30.
To add the fractions from the picture, we need to find a common denominator.
In the first rectangle, it is divided into 6 equal parts, and 1 part is shaded. So, the fraction is 1/6.
In the second rectangle, it is divided into 5 equal parts, and 4 parts are shaded. So, the fraction is 4/5.
To find a common denominator, we need to multiply the denominators together: 6 * 5 = 30.
Next, we need to adjust the fractions to have the same denominator.
For the first fraction, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 5: (1/6) * (5/5) = 5/30.
For the second fraction, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 6: (4/5) * (6/6) = 24/30.
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them together: 5/30 + 24/30 = 29/30.
So, the sum of the fractions from the picture is 29/30.
To add the fractions from the picture provided, we need to find a common denominator for the two fractions.
The first rectangle is divided into 6 equal parts, with 1 part shaded. Therefore, the fraction represented by the shaded part is 1/6.
The second rectangle is divided into 5 equal parts, with 4 parts shaded. Therefore, the fraction represented by the shaded parts is 4/5.
To find a common denominator for 6 and 5, we can multiply them together, resulting in 30.
Now, we need to convert the fractions to have the common denominator of 30.
For the first fraction, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 5 to get 5/30.
For the second fraction, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 6 to get 24/30.
Now that we have both fractions with a common denominator, we can add them together:
5/30 + 24/30 = 29/30
Therefore, the sum of the fractions is 29/30.
