1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$2 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \div \left(\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{3}\right) + 1$$.
2. **Rewrite the expression:** $$2 \times \frac{1}{2} \div \left(\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{3}\right) + 1$$.
3. **Simplify multiplication:** $$2 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{1} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 1}{1 \times 2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1$$.
4. **Simplify the subtraction inside the parentheses:** Find a common denominator for $$\frac{5}{6}$$ and $$\frac{1}{3}$$, which is 6.
$$\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6}$$.
So,
$$\frac{5}{6} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5 - 2}{6} = \frac{3}{6}$$.
5. **Simplify the fraction:** $$\frac{3}{6} = \frac{\cancel{3}}{\cancel{6}} = \frac{1}{2}$$.
6. **Rewrite the expression now:** $$1 \div \frac{1}{2} + 1$$.
7. **Division by a fraction is multiplication by its reciprocal:**
$$1 \div \frac{1}{2} = 1 \times \frac{2}{1} = 2$$.
8. **Add 1:**
$$2 + 1 = 3$$.
**Final answer:** $$3$$.
