2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/5) + (2/75) using LCM Method:
What is 1/5 plus 2/75 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/5
Fraction B: 2/75

What to be found?
(1/5) + (2/75) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/5 and 2/75.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/5 and 2/75 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/5 and 2/75 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 5 and 75 is 75.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/5 and 2/75 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/5 + 2/75
= [(1 x 75)/(5 x 75)] + [(2 x 75)/(75 x 75)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 15/75 + 2/75

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/75 x (15/1 + 2/1)
= 1/75 x (15 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/75 x 17
= 17/75
1/5 + 2/75 = 17/75

Hence,
1/5 plus 2/75 as a fraction is 17/75.
