2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/8) + (2/97) using LCM Method:
What is 1/8 plus 2/97 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/8
Fraction B: 2/97

What to be found?
(1/8) + (2/97) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/8 and 2/97.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/8 and 2/97 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/8 and 2/97 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 1/8 and 2/97:
The LCM of 8 and 97 is 776.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/8 and 2/97 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/8 + 2/97
= [(1 x 776)/(8 x 776)] + [(2 x 776)/(97 x 776)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 97/776 + 16/776

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/776 x (97/1 + 16/1)
= 1/776 x (97 + 16)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/776 x 113
= 113/776
1/8 + 2/97 = 113/776

Hence,
1/8 plus 2/97 as a fraction is 113/776.
