2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/50) + (1/58) using LCM Method:
What is 2/50 plus 1/58 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/50
Fraction B: 1/58

What to be found?
(2/50) + (1/58) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/50 and 1/58.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/50 and 1/58 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/50 and 1/58 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 2/50 and 1/58:
The LCM of 50 and 58 is 1450.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/50 and 1/58 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/50 + 1/58
= [(2 x 1450)/(50 x 1450)] + [(1 x 1450)/(58 x 1450)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 58/1450 + 25/1450

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/1450 x (58/1 + 25/1)
= 1/1450 x (58 + 25)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/1450 x 83
= 83/1450
2/50 + 1/58 = 83/1450

Hence,
2/50 plus 1/58 as a fraction is 83/1450.
