What is 1/5 plus 8 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/5
Fraction B: 8/1
What to be found?
1/5+8 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/5 and 8.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/5 and 8 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/5 and 8 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 8:
The LCM of 5 and 1 is 5.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/5 and 8 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/5+8
=(1 x 5)/(5 x 5)+(8 x 5)/(1 x 5)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=1/5+40/5
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/5 x (1/1+40/1)
=1/5 x (1 + 40)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/5 x 41
=41/5
1/5+8=41/5
Hence,
1/5 plus 8 equals to 41/5 in fraction.
