Answer:

5/9

Explanation:

When adding or subtracting fractions, you need to make the denominators the same.

Using proportions, 1/3 is the same as 3/9 because you can multiply 1/3 by 3/3, which is equal to 1. Since 3/3 is 1, it will not affect the fraction and simply convert to 3/9.

1/3 = 3/9

Now you have this, which is simple to add.

3/9 + 2/9

This will give 5/9.

This is in lowest terms because you cannot simplify or make this fraction any smaller with whole numbers.
