Question

Compute and simplify 4 /9 + 13/18 show work

Answer 1

`1(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

so first find the common denominator which is 162

so on 4/9 multiply 18 to denominater and numerator which makes it 72/162

next multiply 9 to numerator and denominator in 13/18 which makes it 117/162

so now add:

`(72)/(162) +(117)/(162) = (189)/(162)`

so now simplification.

189/162 can be reduced by 3

63/54 is our new answer. now we can reduce it by 9

7/6 is our new answer. now we must change it to a mixed number which is
`1(1)/(6)`

hope this helped!
