step 4 Write the fractions 9/5 and 8/11 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 9/5 + 8/11
= [(9 x 55)/(5 x 55)] + [(8 x 55)/(11 x 55)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 99/55 + 40/55

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/55 x (99/1 + 40/1)
= 1/55 x (99 + 40)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/55 x 139
= 139/55
9/5 + 8/11 = 139/55
