Answer:
Step 1
We still have different denominators (bottom numbers), though, so we need to get a common denominator. This will make the bottom numbers match. Multiply the denominators together first. Now, multiply each numerator by the other term's denominator.
Now we multiply 4 by 9, and get 36, then we multiply 5 by 9 and get 45.
4/5 times 9
Now for the second term. You multiply 7 by 5, and get 35, then multiply 5 by 9 and get 45.
7/9 times 5
This gives us a new problem that looks like so:
36
45
+
35
45
Step 2
Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.
36 + 35 = 71
That gives us an answer of
71
45
Step 3
Can this fraction be reduced?
First, we attempt to divide it by 2...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 3...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 5...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 7...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 11...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 13...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 17...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 19...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 23...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 29...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 31...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 37...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 41...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 43...
Nope. Try the next prime number, 47...
No good. 47 is larger than 45. So we're done reducing.
Congratulations! Here's your final answer to 4/5 + 7/9
