Question

add the following fractions and reduce the to its lowest term (b) 7/9+5/9 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

7/9+5/9 =12/9

Lowest term=4/3

Answer=4/3

Answer 2

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

          Given data:- $\frac{7}{9} +\frac{5}{9}.$

          To find:- Value of the given expression.

          Solution:-

• We will take the LCM of the denominators, and make denominators the same.

• We will Convert the given fractions to equivalent fractions with the denominator as the LCM.

• Adding the numerators over the denominators.

       Therefore,

             $\begin{array}{l}\frac{7}{9}+\frac{5}{9} \\=\frac{7+5}{9} \\=\frac{12}{9} \\=\frac{12 \div 3}{9 \div 3} \\=\frac{4}{3}.\end{array}$

       Hence we will get the value $\frac{4}{3}.$
