\implies {\blue {\boxed {\boxed {\purple {\sf { A. \:6(2)/(9)}}}}}}


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\orange{:}}}}}


4 (7)/(9) + 1 (4)/(9) \\


= (43)/(9) + (13)/(9) \\


= (43 + 13)/(9)\\


= (56)/(9) \\


= 6(2)/(9)\\

Answer:

6 2/9

Explanation:

4 7/9 + 1 4/9

Since the denominators are the same, we can add

5 11/9

We need to fix the improper fraction

5 + 9/9 + 2/9

5+1+2/9

6 2/9
