Learn how to find what is 1/3 plus 2/66 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/3 + 2/66 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 1/3 plus 2/66 = 4/11
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/3 plus 2/66 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/3 and fraction 2/66 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 3 and 66. 66 is the LCM of 3 and 66. Multiplying the LCM 66 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/3 x 66/66) + (2/66 x 66/66), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/3 is 22/66 and for 2/66 is 2/66. By simplifying this fraction addition 22/66 + 2/66, it becomes 24/66.
Pie Chart Representation: 1/3 + 2/66 = 4/11
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 1/3 and 2/66 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 1/3 plus 2/66 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(1/3) + (2/66) using LCM Method:
What is 1/3 plus 2/66 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 2/66
What to be found?
(1/3) + (2/66) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/3 and 2/66.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/3 and 2/66 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/3 and 2/66 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 2/66:
The LCM of 3 and 66 is 66.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/3 and 2/66 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/3 + 2/66
= [(1 x 66)/(3 x 66)] + [(2 x 66)/(66 x 66)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 22/66 + 2/66
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/66 x (22/1 + 2/1)
= 1/66 x (22 + 2)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/66 x 24
= 24/66
= 4/11
1/3 + 2/66 = 4/11
Hence,
1/3 plus 2/66 as a fraction is 4/11.
1/3 + 2/66 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 2/66
What to be found?
(1/3)+(2/66) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/3 and 2/66.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 66), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (2 x 3), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (3 x 66) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 66) + (2 x 3)/(3 x 66)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (66 + 6)/198
= 72/198
= 4/11
1/3 + 2/66 = 4/11
Hence,
1/3 plus 2/66 in fraction is 4/11
