1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
1/3+1/15 using LCM Method:
What is 1/3 plus 1/15 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 1/15
What to be found?
1/3+1/15 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/3 and 1/15.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/3 and 1/15 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/3 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 1/3 and 1/15:
The LCM of 3 and 15 is 15.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/3 and 1/15 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/3+1/15
=(1 x 15)/(3 x 15)+(1 x 15)/(15 x 15)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=5/15+1/15
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/15 x (5/1+1/1)
=1/15 x (5 + 1)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/15 x 6
= 6/15
=2/5
1/3+1/15=2/5
Hence,
1/3 plus 1/15 equals to 2/5 in fraction.
1/3+1/15 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 1/15
What to be found?
1/3+1/15 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/3 and 1/15.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 15), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 3), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (3 x 15) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 15) + (1 x 3)/(3 x 15)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (15 + 3)/45
= 18/45
= 2/5
1/3+1/15 = 2/5
Hence,
1/3 plus 1/15 = 2/5
