Answer:

45

Explanation:

Calculate the least common multiple LCM(9; 5)

LCM(9; 5) = 45

Find additional factors for each fraction, for this divide LCM by the denominators of each fraction:

45 : 9 = 5 (factor of 1 fraction)

45 : 5 = 9 (factor of 2 fraction)

We multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by an additional factor of this fraction:

6/9=6/9 ⋅ 5/5=30/45

1/5=1/9 ⋅ 9/9=9/45

Result

6/9=30/45

1/5=9/45

Hope this Helps!
