Question

1/9+2/9

is the answer 3/18 if it not the answer.
can you please explain why its not the answer and give the answer right answer plz thank you.

Answer 1

the answer would be 3/9. it would not be 3/18 because you do not add together the denominators (bottom numbers), only the numerators (top number). think of it as a pie. if you have a lie with 9 slices, and you add 1 slice plus 2 slices. it wouldn’t become 1.5 slices, it would be 3 slices. hope this helps.
