Okay I am going to explain to you and show you how to get the correct answer.

Fist you need to find the Greatest common factor which is 45 because 5×9=45

8/9=40/45

+3/5=27/45
__________
67/45 is reduced to 1 22/45
5 goes into 45 9 times so 3 times 7 equals 27 and 9 goes into 45 5 times so 8 times 5 equals 40 you add both numbers up and get 67. 67 can't go into 45 so you subtract 67 from 45. 45 goes into 67 1 time so that is your whole the number. 22 is left over so that is your numerator. The denominator remains the same.
