Question

How do you simplify `2/3 + 2/9`?

Answer 1

`8/9`

Explanation:

For addition fractions, you first want to make sure your denominator is the same which in this case you want it to be a 9

`2/3times3/3+2/9`

`= 6/9+2/9`

`=8/9`

Remember whatever you do to the denominator you also have to do with the numerator. So since you had to times it by 3 for the denominator to equal to 9, then you also have to times the numerator by 3 which equals to 6.
