Yes, 6/9
To simplify it you have to find what number can be divided into both 6 and 9.
2? no
3? yes!
6 divided by 3 = 2;
9 divided by 3 = 3
6/9 = 2/3
oooohh ok thanks!
You're welcome. :-)
To simplify the expression 2/9 + 4/9, you need to find a common denominator for both fractions. In this case, the common denominator is 9.
To add the fractions, you keep the denominators the same and add the numerators:
(2 + 4)/9 = 6/9
However, for a simplified fraction, you should reduce it to its simplest form by canceling out common factors in the numerator and denominator. In this case, both the numerator and denominator have a common factor of 3:
6/9 = (2 * 3)/(3 * 3) = 2/3
Therefore, the simplified form of 2/9 + 4/9 is 2/3.
