Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{9}=\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to add $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{9}$

As we can clearly see given fractions are not like. Therefore, we make them like making denominator same and equal to LCM.

LCM of 3 and 9 = 9

$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{9}$

Now,

$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{9}$

$=\frac{3}{9}+\frac{3}{9}$

$=\frac{3+3}{9}$

$=\frac{6}{9}$

We simplify the answer into simplest form by dividing numerator and denominator by HCF

HCF of 6 and 9 = 3

$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{9}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{6\div3}{9\div3}=\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{9}=\frac{2}{3}$
