Answer:
5 4/9
Explanation:
Convert a mixed number 2 19
to a improper fraction: 2 1/9 = 2 19 = 2 · 9 + 19 = 18 + 19 = 199
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 9. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 99 = 189
b) Add the answer from previous step 18 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 18 + 1 = 19
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 19) over the denominator 9.
Two and one ninth is nineteen ninths
Add: 19
9+ (-29) = 19 + (-2)9= 179
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(9, 9) = 9. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 9 × 9 = 81. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.
In words - nineteen ninths plus minus two ninths = seventeen ninths.
Conversion a mixed number 3 59
to a improper fraction: 3 5/9 = 3 59= 3 · 9 + 59= 27 + 51 = 329
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 3 by the denominator 9. Whole number 3 equally 3 * 99 = 279
b) Add the answer from previous step 27 to the numerator 5. New numerator is 27 + 5 = 32
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 32) over the denominator 9.
Three and five ninths is thirty-two ninths
Add: the result of step No. 2 + 32
9= 179+ 329 = 17 + 329 = 499
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(9, 9) = 9. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 9 × 9 = 81. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.
In words - seventeen ninths plus thirty-two ninths = forty-nine ninths.
