\[
\frac{9}{m}+\frac{4}{m}
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To add the fractions, we need to combine them since they have the same denominator. We simply add the numerators and keep the common denominator. Then, simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
Step 1: Identify Common Denominator
The fractions \(\frac{9}{m}\) and \(\frac{4}{m}\) have the same denominator, \(m\).
Step 2: Add the Numerators
Since the denominators are the same, add the numerators:
\[
\frac{9}{m} + \frac{4}{m} = \frac{9 + 4}{m} = \frac{13}{m}
\]
Step 3: Simplify the Fraction
The fraction \(\frac{13}{m}\) is already in its simplest form.
