2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/5) + (1/94) using LCM Method:
What is 2/5 plus 1/94 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/5
Fraction B: 1/94

What to be found?
(2/5) + (1/94) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/5 and 1/94.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/5 and 1/94 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/5 and 1/94 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 5 and 94 is 470.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/5 and 1/94 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/5 + 1/94
= [(2 x 470)/(5 x 470)] + [(1 x 470)/(94 x 470)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 188/470 + 5/470

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/470 x (188/1 + 5/1)
= 1/470 x (188 + 5)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/470 x 193
= 193/470
2/5 + 1/94 = 193/470

Hence,
