2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/3) + (2/46) using LCM Method:
What is 1/3 plus 2/46 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 2/46

What to be found?
(1/3) + (2/46) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/3 and 2/46.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/3 and 2/46 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/3 and 2/46 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 2/46:
The LCM of 3 and 46 is 138.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/3 and 2/46 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/3 + 2/46
= [(1 x 138)/(3 x 138)] + [(2 x 138)/(46 x 138)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 46/138 + 6/138

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/138 x (46/1 + 6/1)
= 1/138 x (46 + 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/138 x 52
= 52/138
= 26/69
1/3 + 2/46 = 26/69

Hence,
1/3 plus 2/46 as a fraction is 26/69.
