So the equivalent fraction for 7/5 is 133/95 and for 12/19 is 60/95. By simplifying this fraction addition 133/95 + 60/95, it becomes 193/95.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 7/5 and 12/19 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 7/5 plus 12/19 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(7/5) + (12/19) using LCM Method:
What is 7/5 plus 12/19 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/5
Fraction B: 12/19
What to be found?
(7/5) + (12/19) = ?
Find what's the sum of 7/5 and 12/19.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 7/5 and 12/19 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 7/5 and 12/19 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 7/5 and 12/19:
The LCM of 5 and 19 is 95.
step 4 Write the fractions 7/5 and 12/19 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 7/5 + 12/19
= [(7 x 95)/(5 x 95)] + [(12 x 95)/(19 x 95)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 133/95 + 60/95
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/95 x (133/1 + 60/1)
= 1/95 x (133 + 60)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/95 x 193
= 193/95
7/5 + 12/19 = 193/95
Hence,
7/5 plus 12/19 as a fraction is 193/95.
7/5 + 12/19 using Cross Multiplication Method:
