1. The problem involves understanding and adding two fractions represented by alien icons.
2. The formula for adding fractions is $$\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ad + bc}{bd}$$ where $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$ are integers.
3. Important rules: fractions must have a common denominator to be added directly.
4. Identify the fractions under the green and purple aliens (assumed as $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ for explanation).
5. Find the common denominator: $\text{lcm}(2,3) = 6$.
6. Convert fractions: $$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{6}, \quad \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6}$$
7. Add the fractions: $$\frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{3+2}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$$
8. The final answer is $$\frac{5}{6}$$ which is the sum of the two fractions.
