Fractions must share a common denominator in order to be added or subtracted. The common denominator is the least common multiple of all the denominators.
What is \( \frac{3}{5} \) + \( \frac{8}{9} \)?
| \( \frac{9}{45} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{8}{12} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{22}{45}\) | |
| 1 \( \frac{3}{45} \) |
