Summary: 16/9 plus 6/11 = 230/99
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 16/9 plus 6/11 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 16/9 and fraction 6/11 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 9 and 11. 99 is the LCM of 9 and 11. Multiplying the LCM 99 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (16/9 x 99/99) + (6/11 x 99/99), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 16/9 is 176/99 and for 6/11 is 54/99. By simplifying this fraction addition 176/99 + 54/99, it becomes 230/99.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 16/9 and 6/11 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 16/9 plus 6/11 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(16/9) + (6/11) using LCM Method:
What is 16/9 plus 6/11 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 16/9
Fraction B: 6/11
What to be found?
(16/9) + (6/11) = ?
Find what's the sum of 16/9 and 6/11.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 16/9 and 6/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 16/9 and 6/11 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 16/9 and 6/11:
The LCM of 9 and 11 is 99.
step 4 Write the fractions 16/9 and 6/11 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 16/9 + 6/11
= [(16 x 99)/(9 x 99)] + [(6 x 99)/(11 x 99)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 176/99 + 54/99
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/99 x (176/1 + 54/1)
= 1/99 x (176 + 54)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/99 x 230
= 230/99
16/9 + 6/11 = 230/99
Hence,
16/9 plus 6/11 as a fraction is 230/99.
16/9 + 6/11 using Cross Multiplication Method:
