Learn how to find what is 4/3 plus 2/4 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 4/3 + 2/4 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 4/3 plus 2/4
Since both the fractions have the unequal denominators, you have to find the equivalent fractions for 4/3 and 2/4 having identical denominators before starting adding the fractions. Find the LCM of denominators, 12 is the LCM of 3 and 4. Multiply the LCM 12 with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions (4/3 x 12/12) + (2/4 x 12/12) and simplify further in order to have the common denominators. By simplifying the fraction addition expression becomes 22/12.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 4/3 and 2/4 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 4/3 plus 2/4 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
4/3+2/4 using LCM Method:
What is 4/3 plus 2/4 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 4/3
Fraction B: 2/4
What to be found?
4/3+2/4 = ?
Find what's the sum of 4/3 and 2/4.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 4/3 and 2/4 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 4/3 and 2/4 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 4/3 and 2/4:
The LCM of 3 and 4 is 12.
step 4 Write the fractions 4/3 and 2/4 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=4/3+2/4
=(4 x 12)/(3 x 12)+(2 x 12)/(4 x 12)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=16/12+6/12
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/12 x (16/1+6/1)
=1/12 x (16 + 6)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/12 x 22
= 22/12
=11/6
4/3+2/4=11/6
Hence,
4/3 plus 2/4 equals to 11/6 in fraction.
4/3+2/4 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 4/3
Fraction B: 2/4
What to be found?
4/3+2/4 = ?
Find what's the sum of 4/3 and 2/4.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (4 x 4), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (2 x 3), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (3 x 4) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (4 x 4) + (2 x 3)/(3 x 4)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (16 + 6)/12
= 22/12
= 11/6
4/3+2/4 = 11/6
Hence,
4/3 plus 2/4 = 11/6
