Answer: (11/9) + (5/9) = (11 + 5)/9 = 16/9

Explanation:

We have to find a common denominator for the two fractions. Since both fractions have a denominator of 9, we can add the numerators directly.

Add the numerators of the two fractions: 11 + 5 = 16.

Write the sum over the common denominator: 16/9.

Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, it is already in simplest form.

Therefore, (11/9) + (5/9) = 16/9.
