Hello there. To solve this question, we'll have to remember some properties about mixed numbers.

Given the mixed number a b/c, we can write it as and it is the same as

Therefore in the expression:


4(4)/(9)+8(7)/(9)

We rewrite it as


4+(4)/(9)+8+(7)/(9)

Adding the fractions, we have:


12+(11)/(9)=(119)/(9)

And we have to write the answer in mixed fraction form, therefore we perform


(119)/(9)=(117+2)/(9)=13(2)/(9)

This is the answer we're looking for.
