What is 2/9+1/3 = i need it for for my homework

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Now we need to make our denominators match.

9 goes into 3 evenly, so we only need to multiply one term to get a common denominator.

Multiply 1 by 3, and get 3, then we multiply 3 by 3 and get 9.

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

2 + 3 = 5

That gives us the sum, which is

5/9

Now, do we need to simplify this fraction?

First, we attempt to divide it by 2 ...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 3 ...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 5 ...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 7 ...

No good. 7 is larger than 5. So we're done reducing.

There you have it! Here's the final answer to 2/9 + 1/3
