If the fraction whose denominator are equal then they will add up

In the given fraction 1/2 +1/9, the denominator of both the fraction 1/2 & 1/9 is not same

so, to make the base same we take the LCM of the 2 & 9


\begin{gathered} \text{LCM of 2 \& 9 is 18} \\ Si,\text{ the fraction will be :} \\ (1)/(2)+(1)/(9)=(9+2)/(18) \\ (1)/(2)+(1)/(9)=(11)/(18) \end{gathered}

Answer : 11/18
