2. Cross multiplication method.

(14/3) + (5/6) using LCM Method:
What is 14/3 plus 5/6 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 14/3
Fraction B: 5/6

What to be found?
(14/3) + (5/6) = ?
Find what's the sum of 14/3 and 5/6.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 14/3 and 5/6 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 14/3 and 5/6 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 5/6:
The LCM of 3 and 6 is 6.

step 4 Write the fractions 14/3 and 5/6 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 14/3 + 5/6
= [(14 x 6)/(3 x 6)] + [(5 x 6)/(6 x 6)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 28/6 + 5/6

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/6 x (28/1 + 5/1)
= 1/6 x (28 + 5)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/6 x 33
= 33/6
= 11/2
14/3 + 5/6 = 11/2

Hence,
14/3 plus 5/6 as a fraction is 11/2.
