Question

Help Tim in finding the answer to: $\frac{2}{9}+\frac{4}{3}$

• A. $\frac{15}{3}$
• B. $\frac{14}{3}$
• C. $\frac{14}{9}$
• D. $\frac{15}{9}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{14}{9}$

Let's find the LCM of the denominators.
LCM (9, 3) = 9
Therefore,
$\frac{2}{9}+\frac{4}{3}=\frac{2}{9}+\frac{4\times 3}{3\times 3}=\frac{2}{9}+\frac{12}{9}=\frac{14}{9}$
