So first we have to find a common denominator, in this case it is simple because 18 works. So now we have to make 1/9 into ?/18, to do this we multiply 1/9 by 2, so now we have 2/18 + 2/3 + 5/18. To make 2/3 into ?/18 we have to multiply by 6, so now we have 2/18 + 12/18 + 5/18. Now you add all the numerators (top numbers) together and we get 19/18, which is the same as 1 1/18
