Answer:
2/3+5/9= (2x3)/(3x3) + 5/9 =6/9 +5/9+(6+5)/(9) = 11/9

Step-by-step explanation: answer : 11/9

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(3, 9) = 9. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 3 × 9 = 27. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.
In other words - two thirds plus five ninths is eleven ninths.
