2/6 + 1/1 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/6 plus 1/1 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/6 + 1/1 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/6 plus 1/1 = 4/3
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/6 plus 1/1 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/6 and fraction 1/1 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 1. 6 is the LCM of 6 and 1. Multiplying the LCM 6 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/6 x 6/6) + (1/1 x 6/6), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/6 is 2/6 and for 1/1 is 6/6. By simplifying this fraction addition 2/6 + 6/6, it becomes 8/6.

CALCULATION: 2/6 + 1/1 as a fraction
2/6 + 1/1 = (?)
2/6 + 1/1 = [(2 x 1) + (1 x 6)]/(6 x 1)
= (2 + 6)/6
= 8/6
= (2 x 4)/(2 x 3)
= 4/3
2/6 + 1/1 = 4/3
2/6 plus 1/1 as a fraction is 4/3.

where
2/6 is a proper fraction as an addend,
1/1 is a proper fraction as an addend,
4/3 is the sum of 2/6 and 1/1.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/6 and 1/1 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 2/6 plus 1/1 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/6) + (1/1) using LCM Method:
What is 2/6 plus 1/1 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/1

What to be found?
(2/6) + (1/1) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/1.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/6 and 1/1 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/6 and 1/1 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 1/1:
The LCM of 6 and 1 is 6.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/6 and 1/1 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/6 + 1/1
= [(2 x 6)/(6 x 6)] + [(1 x 6)/(1 x 6)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 2/6 + 6/6

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/6 x (2/1 + 6/1)
= 1/6 x (2 + 6)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/6 x 8
= 8/6
= 4/3
2/6 + 1/1 = 4/3

Hence,
2/6 plus 1/1 as a fraction is 4/3.

2/6 + 1/1 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/6
Fraction B: 1/1

What to be found?
(2/6)+(1/1) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/6 and 1/1.

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 (1 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) + (1 x 6)/(6 x 1)

step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (2 + 6)/6
= 8/6
= 4/3
2/6 + 1/1 = 4/3

Hence,
2/6 plus 1/1 in fraction is 4/3
