SOLUTION: I am not sure if this equation was done right. Here it is 1/3+1/2 ------- 5/9-1/3 Do I add the first equation to get that answer, subtract the second equation and take both

Question 424970: I am not sure if this equation was done right. Here it is
1/3+1/2
-------
5/9-1/3
Do I add the first equation to get that answer, subtract the second equation and take both answers and Divide them? Here is what I have on my sheet:
1/3+1/2 2/6+3/6 5/6
-------= -------= ---=5/6 * 9/2 = 5/6 * 27/6 = 45/12 ?
5/9-1/3 5/9-3/9 2/9
Is this any where close to being right?

It's correct, but 45/12 = 15/4.
BTW, it's not an equation, it has no equal sign. It's a simplification problem.
