Answer:
Explanation:
It is easier to break the problem into two. 7 + 9 and 1/2 + 1/6
First, lets add the two easy numbers, 7 and 9.
7+2=9
Next, lets find a common denominator. When we have a common denominator, we can add the two numbers
1/2 + 1/6 = ?
If we multiply 1/2 by 3, we get 3/6. (when you multiply a fraction, remember to multiply top and bottom.
Now we can add 3/6 and 1/6.
3 + 1 = 4
6 6 = 6 (don't add the denominators!)
Now we have 4/6.
add the 9 from earlier, and you have 9 4/6
the answer is 9 4/6. I hope this helped, i tried my best.
