5/6  +  6  3/8   =    20/24  +  6  9/24  =   6  29/24  =  7  5/24

5/6 + 3/8

 

You can easily put these both into the same denominator by multiplying 5/6 by 4 to get 20/24.

And you can also multiply 3/8 by 3 for 9/24.

Now that you have a common denominator, you can just add both the numbers!

 

9+20/24

 

=

29/24

 

Then you can just add 6*24/24 to the number.
