2. Cross multiplication method.

(10/3) + (11/8) using LCM Method:
What is 10/3 plus 11/8 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 10/3
Fraction B: 11/8

What to be found?
(10/3) + (11/8) = ?
Find what's the sum of 10/3 and 11/8.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 10/3 and 11/8 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 10/3 and 11/8 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 10/3 and 11/8:
The LCM of 3 and 8 is 24.

step 4 Write the fractions 10/3 and 11/8 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 10/3 + 11/8
= [(10 x 24)/(3 x 24)] + [(11 x 24)/(8 x 24)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 80/24 + 33/24

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/24 x (80/1 + 33/1)
= 1/24 x (80 + 33)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/24 x 113
= 113/24
10/3 + 11/8 = 113/24

Hence,
10/3 plus 11/8 as a fraction is 113/24.
