The fraction from the first rectangle is 1/6 and the fraction from the second rectangle is 4/5. To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator will be the product of the denominators, which is 6 * 5 = 30.
To make the denominators the same, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/6 by 5 and the numerator and denominator of 4/5 by 6.
So, 1/6 becomes (1 * 5)/(6 * 5) = 5/30, and 4/5 becomes (4 * 6)/(5 * 6) = 24/30.
Now we can simply add these fractions together: 5/30 + 24/30 = 29/30.
Therefore, the sum of the fractions from the picture is 29/30.
