2/3 + 1/30 equals to 7/10 in fraction form.
Learn how to find what is 2/3 plus 1/30 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/3 + 1/30 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 2/3 plus 1/30 = 7/10
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/3 plus 1/30 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/3 and fraction 1/30 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 3 and 30. 30 is the LCM of 3 and 30. Multiplying the LCM 30 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/3 x 30/30) + (1/30 x 30/30), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/3 is 20/30 and for 1/30 is 1/30. By simplifying this fraction addition 20/30 + 1/30, it becomes 21/30.
Pie Chart Representation: 2/3 + 1/30 = 7/10
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/3 and 1/30 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 2/3 plus 1/30 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(2/3) + (1/30) using LCM Method:
What is 2/3 plus 1/30 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/3
Fraction B: 1/30
What to be found?
(2/3) + (1/30) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/3 and 1/30.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/3 and 1/30 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/3 and 1/30 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 2/3 and 1/30:
The LCM of 3 and 30 is 30.
step 4 Write the fractions 2/3 and 1/30 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/3 + 1/30
= [(2 x 30)/(3 x 30)] + [(1 x 30)/(30 x 30)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 20/30 + 1/30
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/30 x (20/1 + 1/1)
= 1/30 x (20 + 1)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/30 x 21
= 21/30
= 7/10
2/3 + 1/30 = 7/10
Hence,
2/3 plus 1/30 as a fraction is 7/10.
2/3 + 1/30 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/3
Fraction B: 1/30
What to be found?
(2/3)+(1/30) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/3 and 1/30.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (2 x 30), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 3), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (3 x 30) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (2 x 30) + (1 x 3)/(3 x 30)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (60 + 3)/90
= 63/90
= 7/10
2/3 + 1/30 = 7/10
Hence,
2/3 plus 1/30 in fraction is 7/10
