2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) + (1/45) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/45 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/45

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/45) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/45.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/45 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/45 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 1/45:
The LCM of 8 and 45 is 360.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/45 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 + 1/45
= [(2 x 360)/(8 x 360)] + [(1 x 360)/(45 x 360)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 90/360 + 8/360

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/360 x (90/1 + 8/1)
= 1/360 x (90 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/360 x 98
= 98/360
= 49/180
2/8 + 1/45 = 49/180

Hence,
2/8 plus 1/45 as a fraction is 49/180.
