Learn how to find what is 1/7 plus 2/44 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 1/7 + 2/44 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 1/7 plus 2/44 = 29/154
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 1/7 plus 2/44 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 1/7 and fraction 2/44 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 7 and 44. 308 is the LCM of 7 and 44. Multiplying the LCM 308 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (1/7 x 308/308) + (2/44 x 308/308), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 1/7 is 44/308 and for 2/44 is 14/308. By simplifying this fraction addition 44/308 + 14/308, it becomes 58/308.
Pie Chart Representation: 1/7 + 2/44 = 29/154
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 1/7 and 2/44 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 1/7 plus 2/44 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(1/7) + (2/44) using LCM Method:
What is 1/7 plus 2/44 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/7
Fraction B: 2/44
What to be found?
(1/7) + (2/44) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/7 and 2/44.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/7 and 2/44 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/7 and 2/44 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 1/7 and 2/44:
The LCM of 7 and 44 is 308.
step 4 Write the fractions 1/7 and 2/44 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/7 + 2/44
= [(1 x 308)/(7 x 308)] + [(2 x 308)/(44 x 308)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 44/308 + 14/308
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/308 x (44/1 + 14/1)
= 1/308 x (44 + 14)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/308 x 58
= 58/308
= 29/154
1/7 + 2/44 = 29/154
Hence,
1/7 plus 2/44 as a fraction is 29/154.
1/7 + 2/44 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/7
Fraction B: 2/44
What to be found?
(1/7)+(2/44) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/7 and 2/44.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (1 x 44), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (2 x 7), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (7 x 44) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (1 x 44) + (2 x 7)/(7 x 44)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (44 + 14)/308
= 58/308
= 29/154
1/7 + 2/44 = 29/154
Hence,
1/7 plus 2/44 in fraction is 29/154
