3/9+1/5 using LCM Method:
What is 3/9 plus 1/5 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 3/9
Fraction B: 1/5
What to be found?
3/9+1/5 = ?
Find what's the sum of 3/9 and 1/5.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 3/9 and 1/5 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 3/9 and 1/5 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 3/9 and 1/5:
The LCM of 9 and 5 is 45.
step 4 Write the fractions 3/9 and 1/5 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=3/9+1/5
=(3 x 45)/(9 x 45)+(1 x 45)/(5 x 45)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=15/45+9/45
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/45 x (15/1+9/1)
=1/45 x (15 + 9)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/45 x 24
= 24/45
=8/15
3/9+1/5=8/15
Hence,
3/9 plus 1/5 equals to 8/15 in fraction.
3/9+1/5 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 3/9
Fraction B: 1/5
What to be found?
3/9+1/5 = ?
Find what's the sum of 3/9 and 1/5.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (3 x 5), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (1 x 9), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (9 x 5) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (3 x 5) + (1 x 9)/(9 x 5)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (15 + 9)/45
= 24/45
= 8/15
3/9+1/5 = 8/15
Hence,
