4/5 + 5 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 4/5 plus 5 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 4/5 + 5 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 4/5 plus 5 = 29/5
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 4/5 plus 5 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 4/5 and fraction 5 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 5 and 1. 5 is the LCM of 5 and 1. Multiplying the LCM 5 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (4/5 x 5/5) + (5 x 5/5), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 4/5 is 4/5 and for 5 is 25/5. By simplifying this fraction addition 4/5 + 25/5, it becomes 29/5.

(4/5) + (5) using LCM Method:
What is 4/5 plus 5 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 4/5
Fraction B: 5/1

What to be found?
(4/5) + (5) = ?
Find what's the sum of 4/5 and 5.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 4/5 and 5 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 4/5 and 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 4/5 and 5:
The LCM of 5 and 1 is 5.

step 4 Write the fractions 4/5 and 5 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 4/5 + 5
= [(4 x 5)/(5 x 5)] + [(5 x 5)/(1 x 5)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 4/5 + 25/5

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/5 x (4/1 + 25/1)
= 1/5 x (4 + 25)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/5 x 29
= 29/5
4/5 + 5 = 29/5

Hence,
4/5 plus 5 as a fraction is 29/5.
