2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/8) + (1/88) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/88 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/88

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/88) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/88.

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

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

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 22/88 + 1/88

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

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/88 x 23
= 23/88
2/8 + 1/88 = 23/88

Hence,
2/8 plus 1/88 as a fraction is 23/88.
