Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the answer, add the whole numbers together and then add the fractions together:
9 + 4 = 13
(You can even stop here because 14 is the closest to 13)
Now, add the fractions:
[tex]\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
To add fractions you have to have a common denominator. To find the common denominator multiply 3 by 5, and 5 by 3. Like this:
[tex](\frac{5}{5})\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{5} (\frac{3}{3} )[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\frac{10}{15} +\frac{3}{15}[/tex] Distribute everything from above
[tex]\frac{13}{15}[/tex] Add
So, the whole fraction will look like this [tex]13\frac{13}{15}[/tex]. This is closest to 14.
