2. Cross multiplication method.

(17/6) + (1/12) using LCM Method:
What is 17/6 plus 1/12 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 17/6
Fraction B: 1/12

What to be found?
(17/6) + (1/12) = ?
Find what's the sum of 17/6 and 1/12.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 17/6 and 1/12 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 17/6 and 1/12 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 17/6 and 1/12:
The LCM of 6 and 12 is 12.

step 4 Write the fractions 17/6 and 1/12 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 17/6 + 1/12
= [(17 x 12)/(6 x 12)] + [(1 x 12)/(12 x 12)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 34/12 + 1/12

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/12 x (34/1 + 1/1)
= 1/12 x (34 + 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/12 x 35
= 35/12
17/6 + 1/12 = 35/12

Hence,
17/6 plus 1/12 as a fraction is 35/12.
