2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/7) + (1/48) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 plus 1/48 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/48

What to be found?
(2/7) + (1/48) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 1/48.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/48 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/48 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 2/7 and 1/48:
The LCM of 7 and 48 is 336.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/48 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 + 1/48
= [(2 x 336)/(7 x 336)] + [(1 x 336)/(48 x 336)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 96/336 + 7/336

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/336 x (96/1 + 7/1)
= 1/336 x (96 + 7)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/336 x 103
= 103/336
2/7 + 1/48 = 103/336

Hence,
2/7 plus 1/48 as a fraction is 103/336.
