Summary: 7/6 plus 4/8
Since both the fractions have the unequal denominators, you have to find the equivalent fractions for 7/6 and 4/8 having identical denominators before starting adding the fractions. Find the LCM of denominators, 24 is the LCM of 6 and 8. Multiply the LCM 24 with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions (7/6 x 24/24) + (4/8 x 24/24) and simplify further in order to have the common denominators. By simplifying the fraction addition expression becomes 40/24.
The below workout with step by step calculation shows how to find the equivalent fraction between 7/6 and 4/8 by adding two fractions with different, unequal or unlike denominators. The sum in fraction form for 7/6 plus 4/8 can be obtained by using anyone of the two methods below.
1. LCM method
2. Cross multiplication method.
7/6+4/8 using LCM Method:
What is 7/6 plus 4/8 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/6
Fraction B: 4/8
What to be found?
7/6+4/8 = ?
Find what's the sum of 7/6 and 4/8.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 7/6 and 4/8 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 7/6 and 4/8 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 4/8:
The LCM of 6 and 8 is 24.
step 4 Write the fractions 7/6 and 4/8 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=7/6+4/8
=(7 x 24)/(6 x 24)+(4 x 24)/(8 x 24)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=28/24+12/24
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/24 x (28/1+12/1)
=1/24 x (28 + 12)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/24 x 40
= 40/24
=5/3
7/6+4/8=5/3
Hence,
7/6 plus 4/8 equals to 5/3 in fraction.
7/6+4/8 using Cross Multiplication Method:
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 7/6
Fraction B: 4/8
What to be found?
7/6+4/8 = ?
Find what's the sum of 7/6 and 4/8.
step 2 Find the product of numerator of Fraction A and denominator of Fraction B (7 x 8), find the product of numerator of Fraction B and denominator of Fraction A (4 x 6), and find the product of both denominators of Fraction A and Fraction B (6 x 8) and rewrite the equation as like the below:
= (7 x 8) + (4 x 6)/(6 x 8)
step 3 Simplify and rewrite the fraction:
= (56 + 24)/48
= 80/48
= 5/3
7/6+4/8 = 5/3
Hence,
7/6 plus 4/8 = 5/3
