Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
12/5
Discussion:
Note that 10 is a common denominator of both denominators:
9/5 = (9*2)/(5*2) = 18/10
- ( -6/10) = + (6/10)
So the original problem is equivalent to
18/10 + 6/10 =
(18 +6)/10 =
24/10 =
(2*12)/ (2*5) => cancelling the common factor "2"
12/5 =
2 and 2 fifths =
22/5 (though this looks like (22)/5!)
Thank you,
MrB
