the answer is 9.73
Step-by-step explanation:
4+5 is 9 so leave that aside for now

since both 2/5 and 2/6 have a different denomination you have to find the common denomination. the common denomination is 30 because it’s the LCM for both 5 and 6.

Since you multiplied the 5 by 6 you now have to multiply your numerator by 6 which will give you 12/30 and do the same with the 2/6 but instead multiply it by 5 which is 10/30 and then add them together 22/30 after you can simplify them to 11/15 by dividing the numeration and denominator by 2

After that you can convert the fraction into a decimal which would be 0.7333 but since you can round it off and make a shorter answer you have 0.73

Lastly,Don’t forget to add your 9 that we had in the begging which is not 9.73 :)
