2/5 + 1/70 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/5 plus 1/70 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/5 + 1/70 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/5 plus 1/70 = 29/70
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/5 plus 1/70 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/5 and fraction 1/70 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 5 and 70. 70 is the LCM of 5 and 70. Multiplying the LCM 70 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/5 x 70/70) + (1/70 x 70/70), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/5 is 28/70 and for 1/70 is 1/70. By simplifying this fraction addition 28/70 + 1/70, it becomes 29/70.

2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/5) + (1/70) using LCM Method:
What is 2/5 plus 1/70 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/5
Fraction B: 1/70

What to be found?
(2/5) + (1/70) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/5 and 1/70.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/5 and 1/70 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/5 and 1/70 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 2/5 and 1/70:
The LCM of 5 and 70 is 70.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/5 and 1/70 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/5 + 1/70
= [(2 x 70)/(5 x 70)] + [(1 x 70)/(70 x 70)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 28/70 + 1/70

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/70 x (28/1 + 1/1)
= 1/70 x (28 + 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/70 x 29
= 29/70
2/5 + 1/70 = 29/70

Hence,
2/5 plus 1/70 as a fraction is 29/70.
