Question

how do I work this problem(7/9)+(1/2)

Answer 1

A fraction has this form:

$\frac{a}{b}$

Where "a" is the numerator and "b" is the denominator.

In this case, you need to find the sum of the following fractions:

$\frac{7}{9}+\frac{1}{2}$

To do it, you can follow these steps:

1. Find the Least Common Denominator:

- Descompose the denominators into their Prime factors:

$\begin{gathered} 9=3\cdot3=3^2 \\ 2=2 \end{gathered}$

- Multiply the common and uncommon factors with the highest exponent:

$LCD=3^2\cdot2=18$

2. Divide each denominator by 18 and multiply the numetaros by the corresponding quotients:

$=\frac{14+9}{18}$

3. Add the numeratos and simply the fraction.

The result is:

$=\frac{23}{18}$
