Given:
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 2 and 9:
LCD = LCM(2, 9) = 18
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (18):
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can add the numerators:
5/10
+ 6/54
, which equals 1/2
+ 1/9
(both fractions simplified)Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 2 and 9:
LCD = LCM(2, 9) = 18
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (18):
1/2
= 9/18
and 1/9
= 2/18
As a result, 1/2
+ 1/9
= 9/18
+ 2/18
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can add the numerators:
9/18
+ 2/18
= 9 + 2/18
= 11/18
11/18
is in Simplest Form since the Greatest Common Factor of 11 and 18 equals 1, GCF(11, 18) = 1Therefore, the Sum of 5/10
and 6/54
is equal to 11/18
in Simplest Form: 5/10
+ 6/54
= 11/18
