1318

Explanation:

To simplify these fractions, you first need a common denominator. We can use the LCM of 9 and 2, which is 18.

29=2 x 29 x 2=418

12=1 x 92 x 9=918

Finally add your fractions together:

418+918=1318

Because 1318 can not be simplified any further (as 13 is prime), this is your final answer.

1318

Explanation:

Firstly, you have to find the least common denominator between the two fractions. The lcd is 18 since 9 can be multiplied by 2 to get 18, and 2 can be multiplied by 9 to get 18. You must then multiply the numerator by the number you multiplied the denominator of the same fraction. Doing this you get:
418+918=1318
This cannot be reduced any further, therefore 1318 is your answer.
