Answer:

[tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction of the money that Maria spent on an adventure book = [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

The fraction of the money that Maria spent on a bag of candy = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Now we have to find the total fraction of the money that Maria spent.

For that we have to add those 2 fractions together.

Let us solve now.

[tex]\frac{ 1}{9} +\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{ 1}{9} +\frac{1*3}{3*3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{9} +\frac{3}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

There fore, the fraction of the payment has Maria spent is [tex]\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

Hope this helps you :-)

If you add 1/9 and 1/3, it becomes 1/9+3/9, which equals 4/9. thus, 4/9 of the money has been spent. hope it helps!!
