Answer 1

To find the sum of fractions 5/6 and 4/9 you need to find a common denominator. rewrite both fractions with the common denominator and add the numerators.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sum of fractions 5/6 and 4/9, we need to find a common denominator. the smallest number that both 6 and 9 can divide evenly into is 18. so we need to rewrite both fractions with 18 as the denominator.

5/6 is equivalent to 15/18 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 3) and 4/9 is equivalent to 8/18 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 2).

Now we can add the fractions: 15/18 + 8/18 = 23/18.

Therefore, the correct answer is c) 23/18.
