Question

Compute and simplify 4 /9 + 13/18 show work

Answer 1

Answer:

$1\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

so first find the common denominator which is 162

so on 4/9 multiply 18 to denominater and numerator which makes it 72/162

next multiply 9 to numerator and denominator in 13/18 which makes it 117/162

so now add:

$\frac{72}{162} +\frac{117}{162} = \frac{189}{162}$

so now simplification.

189/162 can be reduced by 3

63/54 is our new answer. now we can reduce it by 9

7/6 is our new answer. now we must change it to a mixed number which is $1\frac{1}{6}$

hope this helped!
