2. Cross multiplication method.

(15/8) + (1/14) using LCM Method:
What is 15/8 plus 1/14 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 15/8
Fraction B: 1/14

What to be found?
(15/8) + (1/14) = ?
Find what's the sum of 15/8 and 1/14.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 15/8 and 1/14 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 15/8 and 1/14 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 15/8 and 1/14:
The LCM of 8 and 14 is 56.

step 4 Write the fractions 15/8 and 1/14 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 15/8 + 1/14
= [(15 x 56)/(8 x 56)] + [(1 x 56)/(14 x 56)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 105/56 + 4/56

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/56 x (105/1 + 4/1)
= 1/56 x (105 + 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/56 x 109
= 109/56
15/8 + 1/14 = 109/56

Hence,
15/8 plus 1/14 as a fraction is 109/56.
