Math Problem Statement

What is the result of 2/3 + 2/9?

Solution

The problem is to compute 23+29\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{9}.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD):

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

    • Rewrite 23\frac{2}{3} with a denominator of 9: 23=69\frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{9}
    • 29\frac{2}{9} already has the denominator 9.
  3. Add the fractions:

    • Now, add 69+29\frac{6}{9} + \frac{2}{9}: 69+29=89\frac{6}{9} + \frac{2}{9} = \frac{8}{9}
  4. Final Answer: 89\frac{8}{9}

Thus, the correct choice is 89\frac{8}{9}.
