$$\frac{5}{6}-(-\frac{4}{9})$$

$\frac{23}{18}\approx 1.277777778$

The opposite of $-\frac{4}{9}$ is $\frac{4}{9}$.

$$\frac{5}{6}+\frac{4}{9}$$

Least common multiple of $6$ and $9$ is $18$. Convert $\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{4}{9}$ to fractions with denominator $18$.

$$\frac{15}{18}+\frac{8}{18}$$

Since $\frac{15}{18}$ and $\frac{8}{18}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{15+8}{18}$$

Add $15$ and $8$ to get $23$.

$$\frac{23}{18}$$

$\frac{23}{2 \cdot 3 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{5}{18} = 1.2777777777777777$
