2. Cross multiplication method.

(13/2) + (17/7) using LCM Method:
What is 13/2 plus 17/7 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 13/2
Fraction B: 17/7

What to be found?
(13/2) + (17/7) = ?
Find what's the sum of 13/2 and 17/7.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 13/2 and 17/7 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 13/2 and 17/7 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 13/2 and 17/7:
The LCM of 2 and 7 is 14.

step 4 Write the fractions 13/2 and 17/7 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 13/2 + 17/7
= [(13 x 14)/(2 x 14)] + [(17 x 14)/(7 x 14)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 91/14 + 34/14

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/14 x (91/1 + 34/1)
= 1/14 x (91 + 34)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/14 x 125
= 125/14
13/2 + 17/7 = 125/14

Hence,
13/2 plus 17/7 as a fraction is 125/14.
