2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/5) + (1/91) using LCM Method:
What is 2/5 plus 1/91 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/5
Fraction B: 1/91

What to be found?
(2/5) + (1/91) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/5 and 1/91.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/5 and 1/91 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/5 and 1/91 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 1/91:
The LCM of 5 and 91 is 455.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/5 and 1/91 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/5 + 1/91
= [(2 x 455)/(5 x 455)] + [(1 x 455)/(91 x 455)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 182/455 + 5/455

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/455 x (182/1 + 5/1)
= 1/455 x (182 + 5)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/455 x 187
= 187/455
2/5 + 1/91 = 187/455

Hence,
2/5 plus 1/91 as a fraction is 187/455.
