The first bar is divided into 4 equal parts and 3 parts are shaded. This can be represented by the fraction 3/4.
The second bar is divided into 6 equal parts and 5 parts are shaded. This can be represented by the fraction 5/6.
To add these fractions together, we need to find a common denominator.
The common denominator for 4 and 6 is 12.
Now we can rewrite the fractions with the common denominator:
3/4 = 9/12
5/6 = 10/12.
Adding these fractions together gives us a sum of 9/12 + 10/12 = 19/12.
This sum can be simplified as a mixed number:
19/12 is equivalent to 1 7/12.
Therefore, the mixed number created by adding the fractions from the picture is 1 7/12.
