Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To add these mixed numbers, first add the whole numbers (2 + 2 = 4) and then add the fractions. To add the fractions $\frac{5}{9}$ and $\frac{4}{7}$, find a common denominator, which is 63. Convert the fractions: $\frac{5}{9} = \frac{35}{63}$ and $\frac{4}{7} = \frac{36}{63}$. Adding these gives $\frac{71}{63}$, which simplifies to $1 \frac{8}{63}$. Adding this to the whole number part (4) gives $5 \frac{8}{63}$.
