Answer: 17/18 (Decimal: 0.944444)

Explanation:

1/2 + 4/9

Find the LCD (Least Common Denominator)

The LCD is 18

9/18 + 8/18

Add the numerators and leave the denominators alone:

9+8=17

Put 17 over 18:

17/18

How to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator)

2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18

9: 9, 18,

The LCD is 18

Count by 2 and count by 9 until you get a number that matches.
