3. What is the sum of 1/9, 2/3, and 5/18?

A. 19/18

B. 4/15

c. 8/30

D. 12/9

The answer is A. To add fractions, the denominator has to be the same. What number do 9 and 3 share when multiplying? It is 9.

So multiply 2/3 by 3/3 to get 6/9. And 1/9 by 1/1 to get 1/9. Now add 6/9 with 1/9 which is 7/9

Now add 7/9 with 5/18. 9 and 18 share 18. Multiply 7/9 by 2/2 which is 14/9. Add 14/9 to 5/18 which is 19/18
