You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(1 + \frac{5}{9}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 1 + \frac{5}{9} = \frac{14}{9} = 1.\overline{5} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{1}\) and \(\frac{5}{9}\) is \(9\). \[ \begin{aligned} 1 + \frac{5}{9} &= \frac{1 \cdot 9}{1 \cdot 9} + \frac{5 \cdot 1}{9 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{9 + 5}{9} \\ &= \frac{14}{9} \end{aligned} \]
