First, since you are adding, you would need to determine a common denominator. It would be 24. [tex] \frac{9}{8} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{27}{24} [/tex] [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{8}{24} [/tex]
Next, you would plug them back into the equation. [tex] \frac{27}{24} [/tex] + [tex] \frac{27}{24} [/tex]
Now, all you would have to do is solve it and then simplify the sum. [tex] \frac{27}{24} [/tex] + [tex] \frac{27}{24} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{35}{24} [/tex] = 1 [tex] \frac{11}{24} [/tex]
