2/8 + 1/25 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 2/8 plus 1/25 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 2/8 + 1/25 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 2/8 plus 1/25 = 29/100
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 2/8 plus 1/25 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 2/8 and fraction 1/25 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 8 and 25. 200 is the LCM of 8 and 25. Multiplying the LCM 200 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (2/8 x 200/200) + (1/25 x 200/200), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 2/8 is 50/200 and for 1/25 is 8/200. By simplifying this fraction addition 50/200 + 8/200, it becomes 58/200.

1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) + (1/25) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/25 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/25

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/25) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/25.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/25 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/25 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 1/25:
The LCM of 8 and 25 is 200.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/25 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 + 1/25
= [(2 x 200)/(8 x 200)] + [(1 x 200)/(25 x 200)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 50/200 + 8/200

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/200 x (50/1 + 8/1)
= 1/200 x (50 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/200 x 58
= 58/200
= 29/100
2/8 + 1/25 = 29/100

Hence,
2/8 plus 1/25 as a fraction is 29/100.
