1 Answer

First, we set up or problem.

7 5/6+5 1/9

Next, we turn both fractions into improper fractions.

To turn it into an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the numerator.

7 5/6=47/6

5 1/9=46/9.

Let's set up our equation with our current fractions.

47/6+46/9

Next, we find the LCD.

LCD=Least Common Multiple

The least common multiple is 18.

6×3=18 and 9×2=18

Since we multiplied both the denominators by a certain number, we multiply the numerators by the same one.

47×3=141, making our fraction look like this;

141/18

46×2=92, making our second fraction look like this;

92/18.

Next, we add both fractions together.

141/18+92/18=233/18

Since it's an improper fraction, let's turn it into a mixed fraction.

233/18=12 17/18

Your final answer is 12/17

Have a wonderful day! :D
