Answer:

Multiply the denominators until you get 18 so that they are common fractions. 6*3= 18 9*2=18

5*3=15= 15/18

1*2=2/18

The answer is 17/18

Answer:

17/18

Explanation:

you have to find the common denomonator. So, the LCM (Least common multiple) 9 times 2 is 18. 6 can go into 18, 3 times. so your new fractions are 15/18 + 2/18. then you add the numerators (top numbers) and you get 17/18!

Hope this helps.
