9.What is the sum of each fraction statement? Write each answer in LOWEST terms.

a)1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 or 1/3

In the answer is 2/6 but it can be simplified (lowest term)

b)1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 or 1/2

This answer can also be simplified

c)3/5 + 1/5 = 4/5

In this answer, I believe that this can't be simplified

d)5/12 + 1/12 = 6/12 or 1/2

This can be simplified because 6+6=12 2 halves.

e)3/10 + 7/10 = 10/10 or 1/1 or 1 whole

This too can be simplified

f)2/9 + 1/9 = 3/9 or 1/3

This can be simplified.

*REMEMBER* When adding fractions, do not add up the denominator just the numerator.

Hope I helped you!
