Question

Find the sum:
$\frac{2}{9}+\frac{5}{6}$

Answer 1

L.C.M. of 9 and 6 = (2 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 3) = 18


Now, we have:

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{9}=\frac{2\times 2}{9\times 2}=\frac{4}{18};\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5\times 3}{6\times 3}=\frac{15}{18} \\ \therefore \frac{2}{9}+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{4}{18}+\frac{15}{18}=\frac{\left(4+15\right)}{18}=\frac{19}{18}=1\frac{1}{18} \end{gathered}$$
