Let's add these fractions step by step! 🎉 **Step 1:** Look at the fractions: $\frac{1}{6}$ and $\frac{5}{12}$. **Step 2:** Find a common bottom number (denominator) for both. 12 works because 6 and 12 both fit into 12. **Step 3:** Change $\frac{1}{6}$ to twelfths by multiplying top and bottom by 2: $$\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{2}{12}$$ **Step 4:** Now add $\frac{2}{12} + \frac{5}{12} = \frac{7}{12}$. **Visual:** ➕ = Great! So, $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{5}{12} = \frac{7}{12}$ 🎯
