Answer:
(5)/(9)

Explanation:

To solve this equation, you need to first alter 1/3 to have the same denominator as 2/9. To do this you would need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3.


(1)/(3) * (3)/(3) = (3)/(9)

Now that you 1/3 has the same denominator of 2/9, you can add the fractions normally.


(2)/(9) + (3)/(9) = (5)/(9)
