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.
