= [(10 x 18)/(3 x 18)] + [(11 x 18)/(18 x 18)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 60/18 + 11/18

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/18 x (60/1 + 11/1)
= 1/18 x (60 + 11)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/18 x 71
= 71/18
