Multiply the LCM 30 with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions (5/6 x 30/30) + (3/5 x 30/30) and simplify further in order to have the common denominators. By simplifying the fraction addition expression becomes 43/30.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 5/6 and 3/5 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 5/6 plus 3/5 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
5/6+3/5 using LCM Method:
What is 5/6 plus 3/5 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 5/6
Fraction B: 3/5
What to be found?
5/6+3/5 = ?
Find what's the sum of 5/6 and 3/5.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 5/6 and 3/5 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 5/6 and 3/5 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 5/6 and 3/5:
The LCM of 6 and 5 is 30.
step 4 Write the fractions 5/6 and 3/5 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=5/6+3/5
=(5 x 30)/(6 x 30)+(3 x 30)/(5 x 30)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=25/30+18/30
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/30 x (25/1+18/1)
=1/30 x (25 + 18)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/30 x 43
=43/30
5/6+3/5=43/30
Hence,
5/6 plus 3/5 equals to 43/30 in fraction.
5/6+3/5 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 5/6
Fraction B: 3/5
What to be found?
5/6+3/5 = ?
Find what's the sum of 5/6 and 3/5.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (5 x 5), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (3 x 6), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (6 x 5) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (5 x 5) + (3 x 6)/(6 x 5)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (25 + 18)/30
5/6+3/5 = 43/30
Hence,
5/6 plus 3/5 = 43/30
