Answer:  [tex]\frac56[/tex]

Work Shown:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{3}{6}+\frac{2}{6}\\\\\frac{3+2}{6}\\\\\frac{5}{6}\\\\[/tex]

To visualize this, cut up a circle into 6 equal pieces.

3 of those pieces represent half the circle (3/6 = 1/2)

2 more pieces represent one third (2/6 = 1/3)

We have 3+2 = 5 pieces out of 6 total. This is visual confirmation that 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6
