(7/4) + (12/11) using LCM Method:
What is 7/4 plus 12/11 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/4
Fraction B: 12/11

What to be found?
(7/4) + (12/11) = ?
Find what's the sum of 7/4 and 12/11.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 7/4 and 12/11 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 7/4 and 12/11 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 7/4 and 12/11:
The LCM of 4 and 11 is 44.

step 4 Write the fractions 7/4 and 12/11 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 7/4 + 12/11
= [(7 x 44)/(4 x 44)] + [(12 x 44)/(11 x 44)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 77/44 + 48/44

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/44 x (77/1 + 48/1)
= 1/44 x (77 + 48)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/44 x 125
= 125/44
7/4 + 12/11 = 125/44

Hence,
7/4 plus 12/11 as a fraction is 125/44.
