2. Cross multiplication method.

(1/9) + (2/62) using LCM Method:
What is 1/9 plus 2/62 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 1/9
Fraction B: 2/62

What to be found?
(1/9) + (2/62) = ?
Find what's the sum of 1/9 and 2/62.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 1/9 and 2/62 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 1/9 and 2/62 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 1/9 and 2/62:
The LCM of 9 and 62 is 558.

step 4 Write the fractions 1/9 and 2/62 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 1/9 + 2/62
= [(1 x 558)/(9 x 558)] + [(2 x 558)/(62 x 558)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 62/558 + 18/558

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/558 x (62/1 + 18/1)
= 1/558 x (62 + 18)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/558 x 80
= 80/558
= 40/279
1/9 + 2/62 = 40/279
