so for this : 1/9 + 2/3 + 5/18 you ca say like : 1/9 = 2/18 and 2/3 = 12/18 so now you can say : 2/18 + 12/18 + 5/18 = ( 2+ 12 + 5 ) /18 = 19 /18 :)))
i hope this be helpful

I assume 5,18 is meant to read 5/18
To add fractions you must find a common denominator. In this case it is 18 as both 3 and 9 divide into 18.

So, convert them to their equivalents by multiplying both the top and the bottom by the same amount to get the denominator equal to 18.

1/9*2/2=2/18
2/3*6/6=12/18
5/18=5/18

2/18+12/18+5/18=19/18

So the sum is 19/18 or 1 1/18
