3/5+3/9 using LCM Method:
What is 3/5 plus 3/9 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 3/5
Fraction B: 3/9
What to be found?
3/5+3/9 = ?
Find what's the sum of 3/5 and 3/9.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 3/5 and 3/9 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 3/5 and 3/9 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 3/5 and 3/9:
The LCM of 5 and 9 is 45.
step 4 Write the fractions 3/5 and 3/9 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=3/5+3/9
=(3 x 45)/(5 x 45)+(3 x 45)/(9 x 45)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=27/45+15/45
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/45 x (27/1+15/1)
=1/45 x (27 + 15)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/45 x 42
= 42/45
=14/15
3/5+3/9=14/15
