You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{5}{3} + \frac{7}{9}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{5}{3} + \frac{7}{9} = \frac{22}{9} = 2.\overline{4} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{3}\) and \(\frac{7}{9}\) is \(9\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{3} + \frac{7}{9} &= \frac{5 \cdot 3}{3 \cdot 3} + \frac{7 \cdot 1}{9 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{15 + 7}{9} \\ &= \frac{22}{9} \end{aligned} \]
