4/3 + 8 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 4/3 plus 8 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 4/3 + 8 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 4/3 plus 8 = 28/3
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 4/3 plus 8 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 4/3 and fraction 8 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 3 and 1. 3 is the LCM of 3 and 1. Multiplying the LCM 3 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (4/3 x 3/3) + (8 x 3/3), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 4/3 is 4/3 and for 8 is 24/3. By simplifying this fraction addition 4/3 + 24/3, it becomes 28/3.

CALCULATION: 4/3 + 8 as a fraction

= 4/3 + 24/3

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/3 x (4/1 + 24/1)
= 1/3 x (4 + 24)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/3 x 28
= 28/3
4/3 + 8 = 28/3

Hence,
4/3 plus 8 as a fraction is 28/3.
