What will the next step be of the following: 2/3*1+5/6

To solve \( \frac{2}{3} \times 1 + \frac{5}{6} \), follow these steps:

1. **Evaluate the multiplication first**: 
   \[
   \frac{2}{3} \times 1 = \frac{2}{3}
   \]

2. **Add \( \frac{2}{3} \) and \( \frac{5}{6} \)**:
   To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 6 is 6.

   - Convert \( \frac{2}{3} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 6:  
     \[
     \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{6}
     \]

3. **Add \( \frac{4}{6} \) and \( \frac{5}{6} \)**:
   \[
   \frac{4}{6} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{9}{6} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5
   \]

So, the result is \( 1.5 \).
