Learn how to find what is 1/4 plus 2/22 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/4 + 2/22 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 1/4 plus 2/22 = 15/44
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/4 plus 2/22 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/4 and fraction 2/22 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 4 and 22. 44 is the LCM of 4 and 22. Multiplying the LCM 44 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/4 x 44/44) + (2/22 x 44/44), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/4 is 11/44 and for 2/22 is 4/44. By simplifying this fraction addition 11/44 + 4/44, it becomes 15/44.
Pie Chart Representation: 1/4 + 2/22 = 15/44
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 1/4 and 2/22 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 1/4 plus 2/22 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(1/4) + (2/22) using LCM Method:
What is 1/4 plus 2/22 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/4
Fraction B: 2/22
What to be found?
(1/4) + (2/22) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/4 and 2/22.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/4 and 2/22 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/4 and 2/22 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 1/4 and 2/22:
The LCM of 4 and 22 is 44.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/4 and 2/22 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/4 + 2/22
= [(1 x 44)/(4 x 44)] + [(2 x 44)/(22 x 44)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 11/44 + 4/44
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/44 x (11/1 + 4/1)
= 1/44 x (11 + 4)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/44 x 15
= 15/44
1/4 + 2/22 = 15/44
Hence,
1/4 plus 2/22 as a fraction is 15/44.
1/4 + 2/22 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/4
Fraction B: 2/22
What to be found?
(1/4)+(2/22) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/4 and 2/22.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 22), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (2 x 4), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (4 x 22) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 22) + (2 x 4)/(4 x 22)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (22 + 8)/88
= 30/88
= 15/44
1/4 + 2/22 = 15/44
Hence,
1/4 plus 2/22 in fraction is 15/44
