2/3+13 using LCM Method:
What is 2/3 plus 13 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/3
Fraction B: 13/1
What to be found?
2/3+13 = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/3 and 13.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/3 and 13 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/3 and 13 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 3 and 1 is 3.
step 4 Write the fractions 2/3 and 13 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=2/3+13
=(2 x 3)/(3 x 3)+(13 x 3)/(1 x 3)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=2/3+39/3
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/3 x (2/1+39/1)
=1/3 x (2 + 39)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/3 x 41
=41/3
2/3+13=41/3
Hence,
2/3 plus 13 equals to 41/3 in fraction.
2/3+13 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/3
Fraction B: 13/1
What to be found?
2/3+13 = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/3 and 13.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (2 x 1), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (13 x 3), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (3 x 1) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (2 x 1) + (13 x 3)/(3 x 1)
