Answer:

82/63

Explanation:

The sum can be found using the formula ...


(a)/(b)+(c)/(d) =(ad+bc)/(bd)

For the given fractions, the sum is ...


(6)/(7)+(4)/(9) =(6\cdot9+7\cdot4)/(7\cdot9)=(54+28)/(63)=\boxed{(82)/(63)}

Additional comment

When the denominators have no common factor, the least common denominator is their product, as here.
