Answer: 1 1/18

Step-by-step explanation: 5/6 + 2/9 I know this might seem like common, but the Numerator is the top number of a fraction and the Denominator is the bottom a fraction. When the numerator and the denominator are the same such as 5/5 the fraction equals one (I know its real fancy). When you're multiplying a fraction that equals on by another fraction its really just multiplying by a fancy looking 1 that's disguised as a fraction such as 5/5. If you simplify it it goes to the fraction it was as long it was simplified to the max (5/5 x 1/2 = 5/10= 1/2)

  • First, you need to find a like denominator, which is 18
  • Then, you got to multiply each fraction to make them have common denominators ...multiply 5/6 by 3/3 ( 3/3 is just a fancy way of saying one) 5/6 x 3/3 = 15/18....multiply 2/9 by 2/2 (which is just another fancy way of saying one ) 2/9 x 2/2=4/18
  • Next you add them but only the numerator 15/18 + 4/18 = 19/18
  • Finally, you change the the fraction into a mixed number 1 and 1/18
