2. Cross multiplication method.
1/6+2 using LCM Method:
What is 1/6 plus 2 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/6
Fraction B: 2/1
What to be found?
1/6+2 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/6 and 2.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/6 and 2 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/6 and 2 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 1/6 and 2:
The LCM of 6 and 1 is 6.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/6 and 2 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/6+2
=(1 x 6)/(6 x 6)+(2 x 6)/(1 x 6)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=1/6+12/6
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/6 x (1/1+12/1)
=1/6 x (1 + 12)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/6 x 13
=13/6
1/6+2=13/6
Hence,
1/6 plus 2 equals to 13/6 in fraction.
1/6+2 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/6
Fraction B: 2/1
What to be found?
1/6+2 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/6 and 2.
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 (2 x 6), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (6 x 1) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 1) + (2 x 6)/(6 x 1)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (1 + 12)/6
1/6+2 = 13/6
Hence,
1/6 plus 2 = 13/6
