Answer :

Alright, let's find a way to decompose the fraction [tex]\(\frac{7}{6}\)[/tex] into smaller fractions that sum to [tex]\(\frac{7}{6}\)[/tex].

First, let’s decompose [tex]\(\frac{7}{6}\)[/tex] into two fractions, [tex]\(\frac{1}{6}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{6}{6}\)[/tex].

1. We start with [tex]\(\frac{7}{6}\)[/tex].
2. We can break it down into [tex]\(\frac{1}{6}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{6}{6}\)[/tex].

Now, let's write these fractions in the form of an addition equation:

[tex]\[ \frac{7}{6} = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{6}{6} \][/tex]

Checking:
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{6}{6} = \frac{1}{6} + 1 = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{6}{6} = \frac{7}{6} \][/tex]

Thus, we can decompose [tex]\(\frac{7}{6}\)[/tex] as:

[tex]\[ \frac{7}{6} = \frac{1}{6} + 1 \][/tex]

Both [tex]\(\frac{1}{6}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{6}{6}\)[/tex] are fractions that combine to give us the original fraction [tex]\(\frac{7}{6}\)[/tex].
