can someone help me solve a fraction

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

\[\frac{ 5 }{ 6} + \frac{ 4 }{ 9 }\]

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

Is that your expression?

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

So first you will need to find a common denominator. What is a number that is both divisible by 6 and 9? Hint: It's between 10-20

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

Yup! So what do you multiply 6 by to get 18? And what do you multiply 9 by to get 18?

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

That's almost the correct answer, I would check your addition of the numerators

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

That is correct! Good job!

OpenStudy (ryanchick):

we need to go farther

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

So now we need to simplify the fraction how many times does 18 go into 23?

OpenStudy (neonumbrella5115):

Yes you are correct!! Tag me if you need anymore help! :D
