2. Cross multiplication method.

(11/5) + (2/15) using LCM Method:
What is 11/5 plus 2/15 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 11/5
Fraction B: 2/15

What to be found?
(11/5) + (2/15) = ?
Find what's the sum of 11/5 and 2/15.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 11/5 and 2/15 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 11/5 and 2/15 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 11/5 and 2/15:
The LCM of 5 and 15 is 15.

step 4 Write the fractions 11/5 and 2/15 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 11/5 + 2/15
= [(11 x 15)/(5 x 15)] + [(2 x 15)/(15 x 15)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 33/15 + 2/15

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/15 x (33/1 + 2/1)
= 1/15 x (33 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/15 x 35
= 35/15
= 7/3
11/5 + 2/15 = 7/3

Hence,
11/5 plus 2/15 as a fraction is 7/3.
