Learn how to find what is 1/5 plus 2/90 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/5 + 2/90 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 1/5 plus 2/90 = 2/9
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/5 plus 2/90 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/5 and fraction 2/90 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 5 and 90. 90 is the LCM of 5 and 90. Multiplying the LCM 90 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/5 x 90/90) + (2/90 x 90/90), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/5 is 18/90 and for 2/90 is 2/90. By simplifying this fraction addition 18/90 + 2/90, it becomes 20/90.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/5) + (2/90) using LCM Method:
What is 1/5 plus 2/90 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/5
Fraction B: 2/90

What to be found?
(1/5) + (2/90) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/5 and 2/90.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/5 and 2/90 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/5 and 2/90 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 2/90:
The LCM of 5 and 90 is 90.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/5 and 2/90 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/5 + 2/90
= [(1 x 90)/(5 x 90)] + [(2 x 90)/(90 x 90)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 18/90 + 2/90

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/90 x (18/1 + 2/1)
= 1/90 x (18 + 2)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/90 x 20
= 20/90
= 2/9
1/5 + 2/90 = 2/9

Hence,
1/5 plus 2/90 as a fraction is 2/9.
