Lets try and put them in the same denominator in order to be able and add the numerators together.
The smallest common factor between 2 and 9 is 18.
18/2=9
18/9=2
Lets multiply the results with the numerator.
9*1=9
2*4=8
The new fractions are:
9/18 + 8/18=
Lets try and add the add the numerators together since the denominator is the same.
(9+8)/18=
17/18 is smaller than 1.
17/18 > 1
