Steps to Solve

  1. Identify the components of the expression

The expression consists of the whole number 34 and the fraction $\frac{2}{9}$.

  1. Convert the whole number to a fraction

To add these two, convert 34 into a fraction with the same denominator as $\frac{2}{9}$.

This can be done by multiplying the numerator and denominator of 34 by 9: $$ 34 = \frac{34 \times 9}{1 \times 9} = \frac{306}{9} $$

  1. Add the fractions

Now that both components are fractions, we can add them together: $$ \frac{306}{9} + \frac{2}{9} = \frac{306 + 2}{9} = \frac{308}{9} $$

  1. Convert the result to a mixed number (if desired)

To express $\frac{308}{9}$ as a mixed number:

  • Divide 308 by 9, which gives quotient 34 and remainder 2.
  • Thus, it can be written as: $$ \frac{308}{9} = 34 \frac{2}{9} $$

The answer is $\frac{308}{9}$ or as a mixed number, $34 \frac{2}{9}$.

More Information
