2. Cross multiplication method.

(14/3) + (13/4) using LCM Method:
What is 14/3 plus 13/4 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 14/3
Fraction B: 13/4

What to be found?
(14/3) + (13/4) = ?
Find what's the sum of 14/3 and 13/4.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 14/3 and 13/4 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 14/3 and 13/4 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 14/3 and 13/4:
The LCM of 3 and 4 is 12.

step 4 Write the fractions 14/3 and 13/4 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 14/3 + 13/4
= [(14 x 12)/(3 x 12)] + [(13 x 12)/(4 x 12)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 56/12 + 39/12

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/12 x (56/1 + 39/1)
= 1/12 x (56 + 39)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/12 x 95
= 95/12
14/3 + 13/4 = 95/12

Hence,
14/3 plus 13/4 as a fraction is 95/12.
