1/2 + 1/25 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 1/2 plus 1/25 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/2 + 1/25 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/2 plus 1/25 = 27/50
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/2 plus 1/25 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/2 and fraction 1/25 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 2 and 25. 50 is the LCM of 2 and 25. Multiplying the LCM 50 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/2 x 50/50) + (1/25 x 50/50), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/2 is 25/50 and for 1/25 is 2/50. By simplifying this fraction addition 25/50 + 2/50, it becomes 27/50.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 1/2 and 1/25 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 1/2 plus 1/25 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/2) + (1/25) using LCM Method:
What is 1/2 plus 1/25 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/2
Fraction B: 1/25

What to be found?
(1/2) + (1/25) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/2 and 1/25.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/2 and 1/25 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/2 and 1/25 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 1/25:
The LCM of 2 and 25 is 50.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/2 and 1/25 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/2 + 1/25
= [(1 x 50)/(2 x 50)] + [(1 x 50)/(25 x 50)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 25/50 + 2/50

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/50 x (25/1 + 2/1)
= 1/50 x (25 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/50 x 27
= 27/50
1/2 + 1/25 = 27/50

Hence,
1/2 plus 1/25 as a fraction is 27/50.

1/2 + 1/25 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/2
Fraction B: 1/25

What to be found?
(1/2)+(1/25) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/2 and 1/25.

step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 25), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 2), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (2 x 25) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 25) + (1 x 2)/(2 x 25)

step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (25 + 2)/50
