1/6 + 8/9 =
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{1}{6} + \frac{8}{9}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{8}{9} = \frac{19}{18} = 1.0\overline{5} \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{6}\) and \(\frac{8}{9}\) is \(18\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{6} + \frac{8}{9} &= \frac{1 \cdot 3}{6 \cdot 3} + \frac{8 \cdot 2}{9 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{3 + 16}{18} \\ &= \frac{19}{18} \end{aligned} \]
