1/2+14 using LCM Method:
What is 1/2 plus 14 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/2
Fraction B: 14/1
What to be found?
1/2+14 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/2 and 14.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/2 and 14 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/2 and 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 1/2 and 14:
The LCM of 2 and 1 is 2.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/2 and 14 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/2+14
=(1 x 2)/(2 x 2)+(14 x 2)/(1 x 2)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=1/2+28/2
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/2 x (1/1+28/1)
=1/2 x (1 + 28)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/2 x 29
=29/2
1/2+14=29/2
Hence,
1/2 plus 14 equals to 29/2 in fraction.
1/2+14 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/2
Fraction B: 14/1
What to be found?
1/2+14 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/2 and 14.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 1), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (14 x 2), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (2 x 1) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 1) + (14 x 2)/(2 x 1)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (1 + 28)/2
1/2+14 = 29/2
