2. Cross multiplication method.

(2/9) + (1/28) using LCM Method:
What is 2/9 plus 1/28 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/9
Fraction B: 1/28

What to be found?
(2/9) + (1/28) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/9 and 1/28.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/9 and 1/28 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/9 and 1/28 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 2/9 and 1/28:
The LCM of 9 and 28 is 252.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/9 and 1/28 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/9 + 1/28
= [(2 x 252)/(9 x 252)] + [(1 x 252)/(28 x 252)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 56/252 + 9/252

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/252 x (56/1 + 9/1)
= 1/252 x (56 + 9)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/252 x 65
= 65/252
2/9 + 1/28 = 65/252

Hence,
2/9 plus 1/28 as a fraction is 65/252.
