2. Cross multiplication method.

(11/6) + (2/5) using LCM Method:
What is 11/6 plus 2/5 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 11/6
Fraction B: 2/5

What to be found?
(11/6) + (2/5) = ?
Find what's the sum of 11/6 and 2/5.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 11/6 and 2/5 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 11/6 and 2/5 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 2/5:
The LCM of 6 and 5 is 30.

step 4 Write the fractions 11/6 and 2/5 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 11/6 + 2/5
= [(11 x 30)/(6 x 30)] + [(2 x 30)/(5 x 30)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 55/30 + 12/30

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/30 x (55/1 + 12/1)
= 1/30 x (55 + 12)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/30 x 67
= 67/30
11/6 + 2/5 = 67/30

Hence,
11/6 plus 2/5 as a fraction is 67/30.
