1/3+1/9

Let's evaluate: $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{9}$

ⓘ To add fractions, put them over the same denominator, then add the numerators. We choose $9$, the least common multiple of $3$ and $9$. Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by the same number does not change the fraction: $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{9}$ = $\frac{1\times 3}{3\times 3}+\frac{1}{9}$ = $\frac{1\times 3+1}{9}$ = $\frac{3+1}{9}$

$\frac{3+1}{9}$

ⓘ Calculate the numerator and denominator before dividing: $3+1$ = $4$

▶Result:   $\frac{4}{9}$

The numeric value of: $\frac{4}{9}$ equals:

▷ $\approx 0.4444$
