2/8 + 1/11 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/8 plus 1/11 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/8 + 1/11 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/8 plus 1/11 = 15/44
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/8 plus 1/11 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/8 and fraction 1/11 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 8 and 11. 88 is the LCM of 8 and 11. Multiplying the LCM 88 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/8 x 88/88) + (1/11 x 88/88), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/8 is 22/88 and for 1/11 is 8/88. By simplifying this fraction addition 22/88 + 8/88, it becomes 30/88.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 2/8 and 1/11 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 2/8 plus 1/11 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) + (1/11) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/11 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/11

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/11) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/11.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/11 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 2/8 and 1/11:
The LCM of 8 and 11 is 88.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/11 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 + 1/11
= [(2 x 88)/(8 x 88)] + [(1 x 88)/(11 x 88)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 22/88 + 8/88

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/88 x (22/1 + 8/1)
= 1/88 x (22 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/88 x 30
= 30/88
= 15/44
2/8 + 1/11 = 15/44

Hence,
2/8 plus 1/11 as a fraction is 15/44.

2/8 + 1/11 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/11

What to be found?
(2/8)+(1/11) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/11.

step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (2 x 11), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 8), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (8 x 11) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (2 x 11) + (1 x 8)/(8 x 11)

step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (22 + 8)/88
= 30/88
= 15/44
