1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
1/3+4/16 using LCM Method:
What is 1/3 plus 4/16 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 4/16
What to be found?
1/3+4/16 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/3 and 4/16.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/3 and 4/16 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/3 and 4/16 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 4/16:
The LCM of 3 and 16 is 48.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/3 and 4/16 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/3+4/16
=(1 x 48)/(3 x 48)+(4 x 48)/(16 x 48)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=16/48+12/48
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/48 x (16/1+12/1)
=1/48 x (16 + 12)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/48 x 28
= 28/48
=7/12
1/3+4/16=7/12
Hence,
1/3 plus 4/16 equals to 7/12 in fraction.
1/3+4/16 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/3
Fraction B: 4/16
What to be found?
1/3+4/16 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/3 and 4/16.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 16), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (4 x 3), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (3 x 16) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 16) + (4 x 3)/(3 x 16)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (16 + 12)/48
= 28/48
= 7/12
1/3+4/16 = 7/12
Hence,
1/3 plus 4/16 = 7/12
