Learn how to find what is 7/6 plus 3/14 in fraction form just in a few minutes. We have covered the easiest method to write 7/6 + 3/14 as a fraction and decimal.
Summary: 7/6 plus 3/14 = 29/21
Since both fractions have unequal denominators, 7/6 plus 3/14 is an unlike fractions addition. For adding unlike fractions, you have to first find the equivalent fractions for fraction 7/6 and fraction 3/14 in order to have the same denominators for both fractions. Therefore, you have to find the LCM of denominators 6 and 14. 42 is the LCM of 6 and 14. Multiplying the LCM 42 with the numerators and denominators of both fractions (7/6 x 42/42) + (3/14 x 42/42), and simplify further in order to have the common denominator. So the equivalent fraction for 7/6 is 49/42 and for 3/14 is 9/42. By simplifying this fraction addition 49/42 + 9/42, it becomes 58/42.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 7/6 and 3/14 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 7/6 plus 3/14 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
(7/6) + (3/14) using LCM Method:
What is 7/6 plus 3/14 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/6
Fraction B: 3/14
What to be found?
(7/6) + (3/14) = ?
Find what's the sum of 7/6 and 3/14.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 7/6 and 3/14 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 7/6 and 3/14 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 7/6 and 3/14:
The LCM of 6 and 14 is 42.
step 4 Write the fractions 7/6 and 3/14 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 7/6 + 3/14
= [(7 x 42)/(6 x 42)] + [(3 x 42)/(14 x 42)]
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 49/42 + 9/42
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/42 x (49/1 + 9/1)
= 1/42 x (49 + 9)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/42 x 58
= 58/42
= 29/21
7/6 + 3/14 = 29/21
Hence,
7/6 plus 3/14 as a fraction is 29/21.
7/6 + 3/14 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/6
Fraction B: 3/14
What to be found?
(7/6)+(3/14) = ?
Find what's the sum of 7/6 and 3/14.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (7 x 14), 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 14) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (7 x 14) + (3 x 6)/(6 x 14)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (98 + 18)/84
= 116/84
= 29/21
7/6 + 3/14 = 29/21
Hence,
7/6 plus 3/14 in fraction is 29/21
