How would I add 2/3 + 6/9...
This is really hard. Someone plz help me!!
I think 8/12.
No. You need to get a common denominator for the two fractions.
2/3 = 6/9
6/9 + 6/9 = 12/9
Now we reduce 12/9.
12/9 = 1 3/9 = 1 1/3
To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. A common denominator is a number that both denominators can evenly divide into.
In this case, the denominators are 3 and 9. Let's find the least common multiple (LCM) of these two numbers, which is the smallest number that both 3 and 9 can divide into evenly.
Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27...
Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27...
The least common multiple of 3 and 9 is 9.
Now, since we want to add 2/3 and 6/9, we need to adjust the fractions so that they have the same denominator of 9.
To convert 2/3 into a fraction with a denominator of 9, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3:
2/3 x 3/3 = 6/9
Now that both fractions have a denominator of 9, we can add them together:
6/9 + 6/9 = 12/9
However, we can simplify the fraction 12/9 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
12/3 รท 9/3 = 4/3
So, the sum of 2/3 and 6/9 is 4/3.
