ok first you have the equation 4 1/9 + 4 3/5.
well you must change it into a improper fraction 37/9 + 20/5.
then you must have the gcf (greatest common factor).  185/45 + 180/45
then you add 365/45 = 8 4/45 or 8 1/9

4 1/9 + 4 3/5 = 4 + 1/9 + 4 + 3/5
                       = 4 + 4 + 1/9 + 3/5
                       = 8 + 1/9 + 3/5
                       = 8 + (5*1)/(5*9) +(9*3)/(9*5 )
                       = 8 + 5/45 +27/45
                       = 8 + (5+27)/45
                       = 8 + 32/45
                       = 8 32/45

@FriedRice , your method is sound, but you made an error with that second improper fraction

4 3/5 = (4*5 + 3)/5
         = 23/5              (whereas you got 20/5)
