Answer:

1 and 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

absolute value of negative becomes positive (distance from zero is positive).

So 4/9 + 5/6

you need a common denominator let's use 18:

4/9 = 8/18    and 5/6 = 15/18

Now we can add: 8/18 + 15/18 = 22/18

Almost done... divide numerator and denominator by 2 to simplify = 11/9

Now mixed number= 1  2/9
