9 1/18

5 5/6 is the same as 5 15/18
3 2/9 is the same as 3 4/18

So add them and you get 8 19/18 or 9 1/18

First, find a common denomator. For this problem it would be 18 because 6 and 9 can both go in to it. 6*3=18 and 9*2=18. then put it in to working form.
5 5/6
+ 3 2/9
_____________

then make 5/6 into equivental fraction with a denomator of 18. Do the same with 2/9.

Then just add and get your answer.

5 5/6= 5 15/18
+3 2/9= 3 4/18
______________
8 19/18 = 9 1/18

Do you kinda understand it know? Good

5+3=8 (add first 2 whole numbers)

5/6 +2/9=
5/6 x 3/3 =15/18
2/9 x 2/2 = 4/18
15/18 + 4/18 = 19/18

8 19/18
Simplfy

19 divided by 18 = 1 & 5/10
Simplify 1 & 2/5
1 and 2/5 + 8= 9 2/5
(need to make denominators of both fractions the same number in order to add them..so I multiplied the first one by 3/3 to make the it bottom 18 & the second one by 2/2 to make the bottom 18)


i really hope that is right..haven't done it in a long time

5 5/6 + 3 2/9
I will try to explain it as simple as I can

5 of 5 5/6 is equal to 30/6
3 of 3 2/9 is equal to 27/9

so
5 5/6 + 3 2/9= (30/6+5/6) + (27/9+ 2/9) =35/6 + 29/9

multiply the first fraction by 3 and second one by 2 in order to obtain the same denominator which is 18

35/6 + 29/9= 105/18 + 58/18 = 163/18
(3) ___ (2)

5 5/6 + 3 2/9=
(5 + 3) + (5/6 + 2/9) =
8 + (3x5 + 2 x 2)/18 =
8 + (15 + 4)/18 =
8 + 19/18 = 8 integers 19/18 or 144 + 19 = 163/18

5 5/6= (5*6+5)/6= 35/6

3 2/9= (3*9+2)/9= 29/9

35/6+29/9=
l.c.m= 54
(35*9+29*6)/54=

(315+174)/54=

489/54=
9 3/54 =
since 54/3=18
therefore answer=9 1/18
or
5+3=8=
5/6+2/9=
l.c.m=54
(5*9+2*6)/54=
(45+12)/54=
57/54=
1 3/54=
therefore
8+1 3/54=
9 3/54
since 54/3=18
therefore answer=9 1/18

9 3/54, 5 (5/6*9) =5 45/54 3(2/9*6) = 3 12/54

5 45/54 + 3 12/54 = 9 3/54

multiply the bottom numbers of the fractions.

6x9=54

That will become the bottom number of the new fraction.

Cross multiply the top numbers:

5x9=45

2x6=12

add the cross-multiplied numbers and put that number over the bottom number we determined earlier:

45+12=57/54

57 is bigger than 54, so you can add ONE to the whole numbers, and subtract 54 from the fraction.
5+3+1= 9

9 3/54

3 and 54 are both multiples of three, so you can divide both parts of the fraction by 3.

3/3 = 1

54/3=18

so the final number is 9 1/18

first, convert it into 18ths so that they have the same denominator.
youll get 5 15/18 + 3 4/18. than add, and you get 8 19/18. This equals 9 1/18.
