When adding fractions, make sure the denominators are both the same by finding the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of both fractions. In this problem, the LCM will be 10.
6/10 already has a denominator of 10, so leave that alone.
To make 1/2 have a denominator of 10, we need to figure out what number multiplied by the current denominator, 2, would equal 10. Which will be 5. So first multiply 5 to the denominator AND numerator.
(1 * 5)/(2 * 5) = 5/10
Now you have both fractions with denominators equal to each other: 6/10 and 5/10.
To add them, simply add the numerators and leave the denominator alone. Essentially, the work will look like this:
6/10 + 5/10 = (6 + 5)/10 = 11/10 <-- This is the answer.
