Question

What is 1/3 + 4/9 and how to solve

Answer 1

7/9

Explanation:

To add fractions, you have to have like denominators. First find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of both denominators. That is 9. The second fraction already has a denominator of 9, so leave it as is. The first fraction doesn't so what will happen is you will be converting it into a fraction with a denominator of 9. Multiply the denominator by 3 to get 9. Then multiply the top by 3 because whatever you do to the bottom you do the top. You will then get 3/9. 3/9+4/9 is equal to 7/9 because you just add the numerators, but keep the denominators the same.

Answer 2

Make them same denominator
1/3 * 3/3 = 3/9
Now add them
3/9 + 4/9 = 7/9
