To determine whether the given terms are like terms, we need to check if they have the same units and represent the same type of quantity or measurement.
In this case, the terms provided are:
11 minutes and 5 minutes
Both terms are measured in minutes, making them like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same units and can be combined through addition or subtraction.
Now, let's combine the like terms:
11 minutes + 5 minutes
When we add these terms together, we simply add the numerical values while keeping the unit the same:
11 + 5 = 16
Therefore, the combined like terms result in:
16 minutes
