Answer:
41/45
Step by Step Explanation:
Add: 8/
10
+ 1/
9
= 8 · 9/
10 · 9
+ 1 · 10/
9 · 10
= 72/
90
+ 10/
90
= 72 + 10/
90
= 82/
90
= 2 · 41/
2 · 45
= 41/
45
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(10, 9) = 90. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 10 × 9 = 90. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 41/
45
.
In other words - eight tenths plus one ninth = forty-one forty-fifths.
