The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 5/2 and 10/11 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 5/2 plus 10/11 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.

(5/2) + (10/11) using LCM Method:
What is 5/2 plus 10/11 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 5/2
Fraction B: 10/11

What to be found?
(5/2) + (10/11) = ?
Find what's the sum of 5/2 and 10/11.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 5/2 and 10/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 5/2 and 10/11 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 5/2 and 10/11:
The LCM of 2 and 11 is 22.

step 4 Write the fractions 5/2 and 10/11 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 5/2 + 10/11
= [(5 x 22)/(2 x 22)] + [(10 x 22)/(11 x 22)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 55/22 + 20/22

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/22 x (55/1 + 20/1)
= 1/22 x (55 + 20)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/22 x 75
= 75/22
5/2 + 10/11 = 75/22

Hence,
5/2 plus 10/11 as a fraction is 75/22.
