Answer:

13 7/9

Explanation:

You have two mixed numbers right now, so the first step to take would be to add the integers 4 and 8 since those numbers are limited by fractions (1/9 and 2/3 are limited as fractions). This would equal 13, and now you can move on to the fractions 1/9 and 2/3. In order to add those, you will have to find the LCM or the least common multiple, which in this case is 9 since 3 is a multiple of 9 (and 9 is obviously a multiple of 9). Knowing, you would have to convert the 2/3 into something ___/9, which would be 6/9. Adding those two together would result in 7/9. Combine that with the integer 13, and you have 13 7/9. Hope this helps!
