Answer:
53/9 or 5 and 8/9
Explanation:
5 1/3 + 5/9
we can convert 5 1/3 to a fraction by multiplying 5 times the denominator and adding 1 (the numerator) to it. we get
16/3
we now need to get common denominators. the least common denominators is 9, so we multiply 16/3 by 3/3 and we get:
48/9
now we can add the two:
48/9 + 5/9 = 53/9 or 5 and 8/9
