Summary: 11/6 plus 11/18 = 22/9
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 11/6 plus 11/18 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 11/6 and fraction 11/18 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 18. 18 is the LCM of 6 and 18. Multiplying the LCM 18 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (11/6 x 18/18) + (11/18 x 18/18), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 11/6 is 33/18 and for 11/18 is 11/18. By simplifying this fraction addition 33/18 + 11/18, it becomes 44/18.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 11/6 and 11/18 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 11/6 plus 11/18 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(11/6) + (11/18) using LCM Method:
What is 11/6 plus 11/18 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 11/6
Fraction B: 11/18
What to be found?
(11/6) + (11/18) = ?
Find what's the sum of 11/6 and 11/18.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 11/6 and 11/18 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 11/6 and 11/18 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 11/6 and 11/18:
The LCM of 6 and 18 is 18.
step 4 Write the fractions 11/6 and 11/18 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 11/6 + 11/18
= [(11 x 18)/(6 x 18)] + [(11 x 18)/(18 x 18)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 33/18 + 11/18
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/18 x (33/1 + 11/1)
= 1/18 x (33 + 11)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/18 x 44
= 44/18
= 22/9
11/6 + 11/18 = 22/9
Hence,
11/6 plus 11/18 as a fraction is 22/9.
11/6 + 11/18 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 11/6
Fraction B: 11/18
What to be found?
(11/6)+(11/18) = ?
Find what's the sum of 11/6 and 11/18.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (11 x 18), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (11 x 6), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (6 x 18) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (11 x 18) + (11 x 6)/(6 x 18)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (198 + 66)/108
= 264/108
= 22/9
11/6 + 11/18 = 22/9
