$26 \frac{9}{10} + 72 \frac{5}{6} = 99 \frac{11}{15}$ $26 9/10+72 5/6=99 11/15$

$26 \frac{9}{10} + 72 \frac{5}{6}$ $26 9/10+72 5/6$

= $26 + \frac{9}{10} + 72 + \frac{5}{6}$ $26+9/10+72+5/6$

= $26 + 72 + \frac{9}{10} + \frac{5}{6}$ $26+72+9/10+5/6$

= $98 + \frac{9}{10} + \frac{5}{6}$ $98+9/10+5/6$

Now as the LCD of denominators $10$ $10$ and $6$ $6$ is $30$ $30$ , we can write this as

$98 + \frac{9 \times 3}{10 \times 3} + \frac{5 \times 5}{6 \times 5}$ $98+(9xx3)/(10xx3)+(5xx5)/(6xx5)$

= $98 + \frac{27}{30} + \frac{25}{30}$ $98+27/30+25/30$

= $98 + \frac{27 + 25}{30}$ $98+(27+25)/30$

= $98 + \frac{52}{30} = 98 + \frac{30 + 22}{30}$ $98+52/30=98+(30+22)/30$

= $98 + \frac{30}{30} + \frac{22}{30}$ $98+30/30+22/30$

= $98 + 1 + \frac{11}{15}$ $98+1+11/15$

= $99 \frac{11}{15}$ $99 11/15$
