Learn how to find what is 2/7 plus 1/50 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/7 + 1/50 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 2/7 plus 1/50 = 107/350
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/7 plus 1/50 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/7 and fraction 1/50 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 7 and 50. 350 is the LCM of 7 and 50. Multiplying the LCM 350 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/7 x 350/350) + (1/50 x 350/350), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/7 is 100/350 and for 1/50 is 7/350. By simplifying this fraction addition 100/350 + 7/350, it becomes 107/350.
Pie Chart Representation: 2/7 + 1/50 = 107/350
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/7 and 1/50 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 2/7 plus 1/50 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(2/7) + (1/50) using LCM Method:
What is 2/7 plus 1/50 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/50
What to be found?
(2/7) + (1/50) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 1/50.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/7 and 1/50 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/7 and 1/50 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 1/50:
The LCM of 7 and 50 is 350.
step 4 Write the fractions 2/7 and 1/50 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/7 + 1/50
= [(2 x 350)/(7 x 350)] + [(1 x 350)/(50 x 350)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 100/350 + 7/350
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/350 x (100/1 + 7/1)
= 1/350 x (100 + 7)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/350 x 107
= 107/350
2/7 + 1/50 = 107/350
Hence,
2/7 plus 1/50 as a fraction is 107/350.
2/7 + 1/50 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/7
Fraction B: 1/50
What to be found?
(2/7)+(1/50) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/7 and 1/50.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (2 x 50), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 7), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (7 x 50) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (2 x 50) + (1 x 7)/(7 x 50)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (100 + 7)/350
2/7 + 1/50 = 107/350
Hence,
2/7 plus 1/50 in fraction is 107/350
