2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/5) + (1/69) using LCM Method:
What is 2/5 plus 1/69 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/5
Fraction B: 1/69

What to be found?
(2/5) + (1/69) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/5 and 1/69.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/5 and 1/69 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/5 and 1/69 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 5 and 69 is 345.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/5 and 1/69 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/5 + 1/69
= [(2 x 345)/(5 x 345)] + [(1 x 345)/(69 x 345)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 138/345 + 5/345

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/345 x (138/1 + 5/1)
= 1/345 x (138 + 5)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/345 x 143
= 143/345
2/5 + 1/69 = 143/345

Hence,
