Given:
Since the denominators are common (the same), we can add the numerators:
Therefore, the Sum of
5/9
+ 10/18
, which equals 5/9
+ 5/9
(second fraction simplified)Since the denominators are common (the same), we can add the numerators:
5/9
+ 5/9
= 5 + 5/9
= 10/9
10/9
is in Simplest Form since the Greatest Common Factor of 9 and 10 equals 1, GCF(9, 10) = 1Therefore, the Sum of
5/9
and 10/18
is equal to 10/9
in Simplest Form: 5/9
+ 10/18
= 10/9
Note: 10/9
is an improper fraction, and as a mixed number, 10/9
= 11/9
