Math Problem Statement

7/9 + 1/3 = ?

Solution

The given problem is:

79+13\frac{7}{9} + \frac{1}{3}

Solution:

  1. To add fractions, first find a common denominator.

    • The denominators are 9 and 3.
    • The least common denominator (LCD) of 9 and 3 is 9.
  2. Rewrite the fractions with the denominator of 9:

    • 13=39\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{9}
  3. Add the fractions: 79+39=109\frac{7}{9} + \frac{3}{9} = \frac{10}{9}

  4. Simplify the result if needed:

    • 109\frac{10}{9} is an improper fraction and can also be written as 1191 \frac{1}{9} in mixed number form.

Final Answer:

109 or 119\frac{10}{9} \text{ or } 1 \frac{1}{9}
