4/8 + 1/10 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 4/8 plus 1/10 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 4/8 + 1/10 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 4/8 plus 1/10 = 3/5
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 4/8 plus 1/10 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 4/8 and fraction 1/10 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 8 and 10. 40 is the LCM of 8 and 10. Multiplying the LCM 40 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (4/8 x 40/40) + (1/10 x 40/40), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 4/8 is 20/40 and for 1/10 is 4/40. By simplifying this fraction addition 20/40 + 4/40, it becomes 24/40.

The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 4/8 and 1/10 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 4/8 plus 1/10 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(4/8) + (1/10) using LCM Method:
What is 4/8 plus 1/10 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 4/8
Fraction B: 1/10

What to be found?
(4/8) + (1/10) = ?
Find what's the sum of 4/8 and 1/10.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 4/8 and 1/10 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 4/8 and 1/10 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 4/8 and 1/10:
The LCM of 8 and 10 is 40.

step 4 Write the fractions 4/8 and 1/10 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 4/8 + 1/10
= [(4 x 40)/(8 x 40)] + [(1 x 40)/(10 x 40)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 20/40 + 4/40

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/40 x (20/1 + 4/1)
= 1/40 x (20 + 4)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/40 x 24
= 24/40
= 3/5
4/8 + 1/10 = 3/5

Hence,
4/8 plus 1/10 as a fraction is 3/5.
