2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/3) + (2/98) using LCM Method:
What is 1/3 plus 2/98 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 2/98

What to be found?
(1/3) + (2/98) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/3 and 2/98.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/3 and 2/98 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/3 and 2/98 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 2/98:
The LCM of 3 and 98 is 294.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/3 and 2/98 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/3 + 2/98
= [(1 x 294)/(3 x 294)] + [(2 x 294)/(98 x 294)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 98/294 + 6/294

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/294 x (98/1 + 6/1)
= 1/294 x (98 + 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/294 x 104
= 104/294
= 52/147
1/3 + 2/98 = 52/147

Hence,
1/3 plus 2/98 as a fraction is 52/147.
