2and3/5 is 13/5.       13/5 x 1/6 =13/30. Just multiply the denominators.

 

(2= 10/5, add 3/5 to get 13/5.)  because 10/5 +3/5 = (10 +3)/5.  If you have two (or more) fractions with the same denominator -that's the number on the bottom -then you can just add the numerators. Why?

Think this way, one lemon plus two lemons is three lemons. If I  say 'one fifth plus two fifths is three fifths' I'm just adding 'fifths'.
