Step 1Of course, you can't add two fractions if the denominators (bottom numbers) don't match. To get a common denominator, multiply the denominators together. Then we fix the numerators by multiplying each one by their other term's denominator. Now you multiply 9 by 9, and get 81, then we multiply 100 by 9 and get 900. Do the same for the second term. We multiply 8 by 100, and get 800, then multiply 100 by 9 and get 900. The problem now has new fractions to add:

Step 2Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. 81 + 800 = 881 The sum we get is

Step 3The last step is to reduce the fraction if we can. To find out, we try dividing it by 2... Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 3... Nope!
