5/9 + 5/6 = 25/18...the change it to a mix number = 1 7/8

To add fractions you need the bottom number to be the same. To do this, find a number that both 9 and 6 can divide into: (in this case 18)

5/9 = /18

+

5/6 = /18

Then, how many times can 9 divide into 18? 6 into 18?

5/9 = 10/18

+

5/6 = 15/18

Now add 10 and 15 and leave 18 on the bottom = 25/18

To change to a mix number take 25 and divide it by 18...how many times can 18 go into 25? Just once, the remainder is 7...SO 1 and 7/18 (18 being the number you started to divide with)

The ANSWER is 1 7/18
