When adding (or subtracting) fractions, first make sure the denominators are the same. In this case, both already equal 6. When adding fractions, add the numerators (the values on the top of the fraction bar) together. The denominators do not change. 5/6 + 4/6 = (5 + 4) / 6 = 9/6 To simplify, divide both the numerator and denominator by the values' greatest common factor, or GCF. The GCF of 9 and 6 is (if you need a further explanation about GCF, ask). (9/3) / (6/3) = 3/2. The simplest form of 5/6 + 4/6 = 3/2 (The mixed fraction would be 1 1/2, as 2/3 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 1 1/2)
