To determine the missing denominator in the addition expression 8/11 + 1/?, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions on both sides of the equation.
The common denominator for 11 and any other number (denoted by "?") would simply be their product: 11 * ?.
So, the missing denominator is 11 * ?.
Identify the missing denominator in the addition expression 8/11 + 1/?

Based on the image provided, the fraction of the first rectangle that is shaded is 1/6, and the fraction of the second rectangle that is shaded is 4/5.
To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 5 is 30.
Converting both fractions to have a denominator of 30:
1/6 = (1/6) * (5/5) = 5/30
4/5 = (4/5) * (6/6) = 24/30
Now we can add the fractions:
5/30 + 24/30 = 29/30
Therefore, the sum of the fractions shown in the picture is 29/30.
