What is 1/6 plus 8 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/6
Fraction B: 8/1
What to be found?
1/6+8 = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/6 and 8.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/6 and 8 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/6 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 1/6 and 8:
The LCM of 6 and 1 is 6.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/6 and 8 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=1/6+8
=(1 x 6)/(6 x 6)+(8 x 6)/(1 x 6)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=1/6+48/6
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/6 x (1/1+48/1)
=1/6 x (1 + 48)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/6 x 49
=49/6
1/6+8=49/6
Hence,
