\(\frac{3}{9}\) + \(\frac{3}{27}\) equals \(\frac{4}{9}\).
First, simplify \(\frac{3}{9}\) to \(\frac{1}{3}\) and also \(\frac{3}{27}\) to \(\frac{1}{9}\). Your problem should look like: \(\frac{1}{3}\) + \(\frac{1}{9}\).
Second, find the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{1}{9}\) to get 9.
Third, make the denominators the same as the least common denominator (LCD). Your problem should look like: \(\frac{1x3}{3x3}\) + \(\frac{1}{9}\).
Fourth, simplify to get the denominators the same. Your problem should look like: \(\frac{3}{9}\) + \(\frac{1}{9}\).
Fifth, join the denominators. Your problem should look like: \(\frac{3+1}{9}\).
Sixth, simplify. Your problem should look like: \(\frac{4}{9}\), which is the answer.
