Question

add 5/8 to 5/9.
with proper explanation​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{8} + \frac{5}{9} \\ lcm \: of \: 8 \: and \: 9 = 72 \\ \frac{5}{8} = \frac{5 \times 9}{8 \times 9} = \frac{45}{72} \\ \frac{5}{9} = \frac{5 \times 8}{9 \times 8} = \frac{40}{72}$

add them

$\frac{45}{72} + \frac{40}{72} \\ \frac{45 + 40}{72} \\ \\ \frac{85}{72}$
