2. Cross multiplication method.

(17/6) + (1/15) using LCM Method:
What is 17/6 plus 1/15 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 17/6
Fraction B: 1/15

What to be found?
(17/6) + (1/15) = ?
Find what's the sum of 17/6 and 1/15.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 17/6 and 1/15 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 17/6 and 1/15 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 1/15:
The LCM of 6 and 15 is 30.

step 4 Write the fractions 17/6 and 1/15 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 17/6 + 1/15
= [(17 x 30)/(6 x 30)] + [(1 x 30)/(15 x 30)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 85/30 + 2/30

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/30 x (85/1 + 2/1)
= 1/30 x (85 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/30 x 87
= 87/30
= 29/10
17/6 + 1/15 = 29/10

Hence,
17/6 plus 1/15 as a fraction is 29/10.
