2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/4) + (2/88) using LCM Method:
What is 1/4 plus 2/88 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/4
Fraction B: 2/88

What to be found?
(1/4) + (2/88) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/4 and 2/88.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/4 and 2/88 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/4 and 2/88 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 2/88:
The LCM of 4 and 88 is 88.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/4 and 2/88 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/4 + 2/88
= [(1 x 88)/(4 x 88)] + [(2 x 88)/(88 x 88)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 22/88 + 2/88

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/88 x (22/1 + 2/1)
= 1/88 x (22 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/88 x 24
= 24/88
= 3/11
1/4 + 2/88 = 3/11

Hence,
1/4 plus 2/88 as a fraction is 3/11.
