11/4 + 1/10 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 11/4 plus 1/10 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 11/4 + 1/10 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 11/4 plus 1/10 = 57/20
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 11/4 plus 1/10 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 11/4 and fraction 1/10 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 4 and 10. 20 is the LCM of 4 and 10. Multiplying the LCM 20 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (11/4 x 20/20) + (1/10 x 20/20), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 11/4 is 55/20 and for 1/10 is 2/20. By simplifying this fraction addition 55/20 + 2/20, it becomes 57/20.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 11/4 and 1/10 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 11/4 plus 1/10 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(11/4) + (1/10) using LCM Method:
What is 11/4 plus 1/10 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 11/4
Fraction B: 1/10

What to be found?
(11/4) + (1/10) = ?
Find what's the sum of 11/4 and 1/10.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 11/4 and 1/10 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 11/4 and 1/10 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 11/4 and 1/10:
The LCM of 4 and 10 is 20.

step 4 Write the fractions 11/4 and 1/10 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 11/4 + 1/10
= [(11 x 20)/(4 x 20)] + [(1 x 20)/(10 x 20)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 55/20 + 2/20

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/20 x (55/1 + 2/1)
= 1/20 x (55 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/20 x 57
= 57/20
11/4 + 1/10 = 57/20

Hence,
11/4 plus 1/10 as a fraction is 57/20.
