= [(16 x 55)/(5 x 55)] + [(10 x 55)/(11 x 55)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 176/55 + 50/55

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/55 x (176/1 + 50/1)
= 1/55 x (176 + 50)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/55 x 226
= 226/55
16/5 + 10/11 = 226/55
