Answer:

8/18 & 17/18 is your answer.

Explanation:

Find common denominators for both (you cannot simplify). Note that what you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator. Find multiples of each number:

9: 9, 18

18: 18

The first least common denominator you get is 18. Solve:

(4/9)(2/2) = 8/18

8/18 & 17/18 is your answer.
