An illustration shows 2 bars. The first bar is divided vertically into 6 equal parts, and 1 parts are shaded. The second bar is divided vertically into 5 equal parts, and 4 parts are shaded. Add the fractions from the picture provided to create a mixed number.
The first bar has 1 shaded out of 6 equal parts, which can be written as 1/6.
The second bar has 4 shaded out of 5 equal parts, which can be written as 4/5.
To add the fractions, we need a common denominator.
Since the denominators are 6 and 5, the common denominator is 6 * 5 = 30.
Converting the fractions to have a denominator of 30:
1/6 = (1/6) * (5/5) = 5/30
4/5 = (4/5) * (6/6) = 24/30
Adding the fractions:
5/30 + 24/30 = 29/30
Therefore, when we add the fractions from the picture, we get the mixed number 29/30.
