7/9+8/2

To add the fractions \( \frac{7}{9} \) and \( \frac{8}{2} \), first, simplify \( \frac{8}{2} \):

\[ \frac{8}{2} = 4 \]

Now, we have:

\[ \frac{7}{9} + 4 \]

To add these together, we can express 4 as a fraction with a common denominator:

\[ 4 = \frac{4 \times 9}{9} = \frac{36}{9} \]

Now we can add the two fractions:

\[ \frac{7}{9} + \frac{36}{9} = \frac{7 + 36}{9} = \frac{43}{9} \]

So, the answer is:

\[ \frac{43}{9} \] or \(4 \frac{7}{9}\) in mixed number form.
