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