Answer:

In decimal form, eight ninths is approximately 0.8888, so this answer is correct.

Explanation:

To arrive at this answer, you can add the fractions by finding a common denominator:

1/3 + 7/9

= (1/3) * (3/3) + (7/9) * (3/3)

= 3/9 + 21/9

= 24/9

= (24/9) * (9/9)

= 8/9

Alternatively, you can convert the fractions to decimals and then add them:

1/3 + 7/9 = 0.3333 + 0.7777 = 1.1111
