Solving the fraction parts:

`(2)/(3)` +
`(7)/(9)` = ?

LCD of 2/3 and 7/9. Rewrite to solve

Answer 2

4 4/9

Explanation:

First, let's convert these fractions into improper fractions to make adding easier. If we do this, it makes the expression: 5/3 + 25/9.

Since 5/3 has a different denominator from 25/9, we need to make the denominator 9.

3 * 3 = 9. We also have to multiply the numerator. 5 * 3 = 15. So, 5/3 = 15/9.

So, now we have 15/9 + 25/9. We can easily add now!

15/9 + 25/9 = 40/9. Now we have to convert the fraction into a mixed number. 40/9 = 4 4/9.

1 2/3 + 2 7/9 = 4 4/9.
