What is 64/17 + 1/9?

What is 64/17 + 1/9?

Here's how to add

64
17
 +
1
9

Step 1

Can you add yet? Nope! The denominators don't match. We need a common denominator. So next we take both denominators and multiply them. Next, take each numerator and multiply it by the denominator of the other term.

So, we multiply 64 by 9, and get 576, then we multiply 17 by 9 and get 153.

64/17 times 9

Now for the second term. You multiply 1 by 17, and get 17, then multiply 17 by 9 and get 153.

1/9 times 17

We now have a new problem, that looks like this:

576
153
 +
17
153

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

576 + 17 = 593

Answer:

593
153

Step 3

Now, do we need to simplify this fraction?
