What is 9/100 + 9/11?

What is 9/100 + 9/11?

This is how we add

9
100
+
9
11

Step 1

We still have different denominators (bottom numbers), though, so we need to get a common denominator. This will make the bottom numbers match. Multiply the denominators together first. Now, multiply each numerator by the other term's denominator.

Now we multiply 9 by 11, and get 99, then we multiply 100 by 11 and get 1100.

9/100 times 11

Now for the second term. You multiply 9 by 100, and get 900, then multiply 100 by 11 and get 1100.

9/11 times 100

This gives us a new problem that looks like so:

99
1100
+
900
1100

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

99 + 900 = 999

That gives us an answer of

999
1100

Step 3

Can this fraction be reduced?

First, we attempt to divide it by 2...

No good. 1009 is larger than 999. So we're done reducing.

There you have it! Here's the final answer to 9/100 + 9/11

9
100
+
9
11
=
999
1100
