Question

Find the sum

2/8 + 3/9

Answer 1

STEP Δ1Δ find the least common denominator/multiple of 8 and 9. 2/8= 18/72. 3/9= 24/72. Step 2 Add. 18+24= 42. Step 3 Simplify. 42/62= 21/36= 7/12. Once you reach 7/12, you can no longer simplify. So, your final answer is 7/12, or seven twelths (even though that not how you spell it). Hope this helps ;). Thank you and have a super awesome day.

Answer 2

at first find common denominator - is 72 so we need multiply first fraction by 9 and second fraction by 8

`(2)/(8)+ (3)/(9)`=
`(2*9)/(8*9)+ (3*8)/(9*8)`=
`(18)/(72)+ (24)/(72)= (42)/(72)= (6*7)/(6*12)= (7)/(12)`
