step 4 Write the fractions 11/7 and 5/9 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 11/7 + 5/9
= [(11 x 63)/(7 x 63)] + [(5 x 63)/(9 x 63)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 99/63 + 35/63

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/63 x (99/1 + 35/1)
= 1/63 x (99 + 35)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/63 x 134
= 134/63
11/7 + 5/9 = 134/63
