You have to first get the eighths and the ninths to the same fraction. Multiply 8 by 9 = 64ths. Then cross - multiply the top numbers by the opposite dividend. Ie. 7x9(ths) and 4x8(ths) and add them together = 63+32 = 95/64ths = 1 31/64ths
Eight and seven eighths.
It is seven ninths.
The sum is 8 1/2 or 8.5
2
4/9 + 7/8 = 95/72
It is 8 5/8.
Four ninths
It is eight ninths.
12 19/72
4/9 plus 7/15 = 41/45 in its simplest form
One and twenty-seven over fourty
The answer is seven eighths
