Add, subtract, multiply, or divide fractions and mixed numbers with step-by-step solutions.
4/9 + 2/3
The denominators are different (9 and 3). Find the Least Common Denominator:
LCD(9, 3) = 9
Rewrite each fraction with denominator 9:
= 4/9 + (2×3)/(3×3)
= 4/9 + 6/9
Now the denominators match. Add the numerators:
= (4 + 6)/9
= 10/9
= 10/9 (= 1.11111 as a decimal)
