6/5 + 4 as a fraction

Learn how to find what is 6/5 plus 4 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 6/5 + 4 as a fraction and decimal.

Summary: 6/5 plus 4 = 26/5
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 6/5 plus 4 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 6/5 and fraction 4 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 (6/5 x 5/5) + (4 x 5/5), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 6/5 is 6/5 and for 4 is 20/5. By simplifying this fraction addition 6/5 + 20/5, it becomes 26/5.

CALCULATION: 6/5 + 4 as a fraction

2. Cross multiplication method.

(6/5) + (4) using LCM Method:
What is 6/5 plus 4 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 6/5
Fraction B: 4/1

What to be found?
(6/5) + (4) = ?
Find what's the sum of 6/5 and 4.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 6/5 and 4 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 6/5 and 4 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 6/5 and 4:
The LCM of 5 and 1 is 5.

step 4 Write the fractions 6/5 and 4 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 6/5 + 4
= [(6 x 5)/(5 x 5)] + [(4 x 5)/(1 x 5)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 6/5 + 20/5

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/5 x (6/1 + 20/1)
= 1/5 x (6 + 20)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/5 x 26
= 26/5
6/5 + 4 = 26/5

Hence,
6/5 plus 4 as a fraction is 26/5.
