Answer:

4 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's convert these fractions into improper fractions to make adding easier. If we do this, it makes the expression: 5/3 + 25/9.

Since 5/3 has a different denominator from 25/9, we need to make the denominator 9.

3 * 3 = 9. We also have to multiply the numerator. 5 * 3 = 15. So, 5/3 = 15/9.

So, now we have 15/9 + 25/9. We can easily add now!

15/9 + 25/9 = 40/9. Now we have to convert the fraction into a mixed number. 40/9 = 4 4/9.

1 2/3 + 2 7/9 = 4 4/9.

[MA]:

4 [tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

The explanation:

Rewrite the equation with the parts separated:

= 1 + [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] + 2 + [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex]

Solve the whole number parts:

1 + 2 = 3

Solving the fraction parts:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex] = ?

LCD of 2/3  and 7/9. Rewrite to solve

LCD: 9

[tex]\frac{6}{9}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{13}{9}[/tex]

Combine, then done!

3 + 1 + [tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex] = 4[tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

Have a great day/night.
