What is 11/6 plus 7/15 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 11/6
Fraction B: 7/15

What to be found?
(11/6) + (7/15) = ?
Find what's the sum of 11/6 and 7/15.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 11/6 and 7/15 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 11/6 and 7/15 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 6 and 15 is 30.

step 4 Write the fractions 11/6 and 7/15 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 11/6 + 7/15
= [(11 x 30)/(6 x 30)] + [(7 x 30)/(15 x 30)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 55/30 + 14/30

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/30 x (55/1 + 14/1)
= 1/30 x (55 + 14)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/30 x 69
= 69/30
= 23/10
11/6 + 7/15 = 23/10
