Answer:


(31)/(33)

Explanation:

You need a common denominator to add. The smallest number that is divisible by both 11 and 3 is 33. Rewrite both fractions with a denominator of 33


(3)/(11) x
(3)/(3)
(3)/(3) is just another name for 1. We are making an equivalent fraction. Multiple 3 x3 for the top and 11 x 3 for the bottom to get:


(9)/(33)

Do the same for
(2)/(3)


(2)/(3) x
(11)/(11)
(11)/(11) is just another name for 1. We are making an equivalent fraction. Multiple 2 x 11 for the top and 3 x 11 for the bottom to get:


(22)/(33)

Now add these two fractions together:


(9)/(33) +
(22)/(33) =
(31)/(33)
