Question 657652
Convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions
...
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator.  This goes over the original denominator
7{{{8/9}}} as an improper fraction: 9x7=63+8=71 : {{{71/9}}}
2{{{2/18}}} as an improper fraction: 18*2=36+5=41 : {{{41/18}}}
...
Now the form allows the addition of the improper fractions
{{{71/9 + 41/18}}}
...
Establish common denominators
{{{(71/9)(2/2) + (41/18)}}}
{{{142/18 + 41/18 = 183/18}}}
Convert back into a mixed fraction.  18 goes into 183 evenly how many times?  This is the whole number.  How many are left over?  This is the numerator.
...
{{{highlight(183/18 = 10 (3/18) = 10(1/6))}}}
