Answer:

1 1/2 tons of material

Explanation:

The landscaper ordered 5/6 tons of soil and 2/3 ton of mulch from a nursery.

To find out the total number of tons she ordered, add 5/6 and 2/3.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{5}{6}+\frac{2}{3} \\ \text{Find the lowest common multiple of the denominators 3 and 6} \\ \text{The LCM of 3 and 6}=6 \\ =\frac{5+4}{6} \\ =\frac{9}{6} \\ =1\frac{3}{6} \\ =1\frac{1}{2}\text{ tons} \end{gathered}[/tex]

She ordered a total of 1 1/2 tons of material.
