Learn how to find what is 10/11 plus 7/12 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 10/11 + 7/12 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 10/11 plus 7/12 = 197/132
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 10/11 plus 7/12 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 10/11 and fraction 7/12 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 11 and 12. 132 is the LCM of 11 and 12. Multiplying the LCM 132 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (10/11 x 132/132) + (7/12 x 132/132), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 10/11 is 120/132 and for 7/12 is 77/132. By simplifying this fraction addition 120/132 + 77/132, it becomes 197/132.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 10/11 and 7/12 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 10/11 plus 7/12 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(10/11) + (7/12) using LCM Method:
What is 10/11 plus 7/12 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 10/11
Fraction B: 7/12
What to be found?
(10/11) + (7/12) = ?
Find what's the sum of 10/11 and 7/12.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 10/11 and 7/12 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 10/11 and 7/12 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.
step 3For unlike fractions addition, find the LCM (least common multiple) of both denominators of fractions 10/11 and 7/12:
The LCM of 11 and 12 is 132.
step 4 Write the fractions 10/11 and 7/12 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 10/11 + 7/12
= [(10 x 132)/(11 x 132)] + [(7 x 132)/(12 x 132)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 120/132 + 77/132
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/132 x (120/1 + 77/1)
= 1/132 x (120 + 77)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/132 x 197
= 197/132
10/11 + 7/12 = 197/132
Hence,
10/11 plus 7/12 as a fraction is 197/132.
10/11 + 7/12 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 10/11
Fraction B: 7/12
What to be found?
(10/11)+(7/12) = ?
Find what's the sum of 10/11 and 7/12.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (10 x 12), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (7 x 11), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (11 x 12) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (10 x 12) + (7 x 11)/(11 x 12)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (120 + 77)/132
10/11 + 7/12 = 197/132
Hence,
10/11 plus 7/12 in fraction is 197/132
