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