Question

Evaluate the expression shown below and write your answer as a fraction in simplest form:1/9 + 7/6

Answer 1

To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator between 9 and 6 is 18.

1/9 + 7/6 = (1/9) * (2/2) + (7/6) * (3/3)
= 2/18 + 21/18
= (2 + 21)/18
= 23/18

So, the expression 1/9 + 7/6 can be simplified to 23/18.
