Question

2 over 3 plus 5 over 9 I need Steps MY PARENTS ARE GONNA GROUND ME HELP MEEEEEE

Answer 1

11 over 9
`((11)/(9))`

Explanation:

What is a fraction?

A fraction is a fragment of a whole number, used to define parts of a whole. The whole can be a whole object, or many different objects. The number at the top of the line is called the numerator, whereas the bottom is called the denominator.

To solve for
`(2)/(3) +(5)/(9)`, we need to first convert these fractions so that they share a common denominator.

What is a common denominator?

A common denominator consists of two or more fractions that have the same denominator. This makes it easier to perform numeric equations, and to solve them.

If a common denominator just refers to 2 fractions having the same denominator, we can simply multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction
`(2)/(3)` by a number. To solve for that number, we can divide 9 by 3.

• 9 ÷ 3 = 3

Now that we know that the number is 3, multiply both by 3.

• 2 × 3 = 6

• 3 × 3 = 9

Now the fraction looks like this:
`(6)/(9)`.

We can now change the expression to this:

• 
  `(6)/(9)+ (5)/(9)`

When adding fractions with the same denominator, we can just add the 2 numerators and keep the common denominator the same.

• 6 + 5 = 11

Now just insert 11 in as the numerator:

• 
  `(11)/(9) = 1(2)/(9)`

Therefore 2 over 5 plus 5 over 9 is 11 over 9.
