By simplifying the fraction addition expression becomes 20/10.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 6/5 and 8/10 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 6/5 plus 8/10 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
6/5+8/10 using LCM Method:
What is 6/5 plus 8/10 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 6/5
Fraction B: 8/10
What to be found?
6/5+8/10 = ?
Find what's the sum of 6/5 and 8/10.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 6/5 and 8/10 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 6/5 and 8/10 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 6/5 and 8/10:
The LCM of 5 and 10 is 10.
step 4 Write the fractions 6/5 and 8/10 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=6/5+8/10
=(6 x 10)/(5 x 10)+(8 x 10)/(10 x 10)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=12/10+8/10
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/10 x (12/1+8/1)
=1/10 x (12 + 8)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/10 x 20
= 20/10
=2
6/5+8/10=2
Hence,
6/5 plus 8/10 equals to 2 in fraction.
6/5+8/10 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 6/5
Fraction B: 8/10
What to be found?
6/5+8/10 = ?
Find what's the sum of 6/5 and 8/10.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (6 x 10), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (8 x 5), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (5 x 10) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (6 x 10) + (8 x 5)/(5 x 10)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (60 + 40)/50
= 100/50
= 2
6/5+8/10 = 2
Hence,
6/5 plus 8/10 = 2
