By simplifying the fraction addition expression becomes 98/6.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/6 and 16 by adding fraction to a whole number . The sum in fraction form for 2/6 plus 16/1 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
2/6+16 using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 16 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 16/1
What to be found?
2/6+16 = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 16.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 16 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 16 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 2/6 and 16:
The LCM of 6 and 1 is 6.
step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 16 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=2/6+16
=(2 x 6)/(6 x 6)+(16 x 6)/(1 x 6)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=2/6+96/6
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/6 x (2/1+96/1)
=1/6 x (2 + 96)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/6 x 98
= 98/6
=49/3
2/6+16=49/3
Hence,
2/6 plus 16 equals to 49/3 in fraction.
2/6+16 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 16/1
What to be found?
2/6+16 = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 16.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (2 x 1), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (16 x 6), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (6 x 1) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (2 x 1) + (16 x 6)/(6 x 1)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (2 + 96)/6
= 98/6
= 49/3
2/6+16 = 49/3
Hence,
2/6 plus 16 = 49/3
