To solve the problem of adding the fractions and , we will follow these steps:
Step 1: Find a common denominator.
Step 2: Convert to an equivalent fraction with the denominator .
Step 3: Add the numerators of the fractions.
Step 4: Simplify the resultant fraction if possible.
Now, let's perform the calculations:
Step 1: The denominator is already a common denominator for , but we need to convert to have the same denominator. Since , multiply both the numerator and the denominator of by :
Step 2: Now, add and :
Step 3: Simplify by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is :
Therefore, the solution to the problem is , which corresponds to choice 4.
