2. Cross multiplication method.

(13/10) + (13/12) using LCM Method:
What is 13/10 plus 13/12 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 13/10
Fraction B: 13/12

What to be found?
(13/10) + (13/12) = ?
Find what's the sum of 13/10 and 13/12.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 13/10 and 13/12 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 13/10 and 13/12 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 13/10 and 13/12:
The LCM of 10 and 12 is 60.

step 4 Write the fractions 13/10 and 13/12 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 13/10 + 13/12
= [(13 x 60)/(10 x 60)] + [(13 x 60)/(12 x 60)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 78/60 + 65/60

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/60 x (78/1 + 65/1)
= 1/60 x (78 + 65)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/60 x 143
= 143/60
13/10 + 13/12 = 143/60

Hence,
13/10 plus 13/12 as a fraction is 143/60.
