4/9 + 2/3

Solution

To add 49\frac{4}{9} and 23\frac{2}{3}, follow these steps:

  1. Find a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 9 and 3 is 9.
  2. Convert 23\frac{2}{3} to a fraction with a denominator of 9:
    23=2×33×3=69\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 3}{3 \times 3} = \frac{6}{9}.
  3. Now, add the fractions:
    49+69=4+69=109\frac{4}{9} + \frac{6}{9} = \frac{4 + 6}{9} = \frac{10}{9}.

So, 49+23=109\frac{4}{9} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{10}{9}, or as a mixed number, 1191 \frac{1}{9}.
