2. Cross multiplication method.
8/7+7 using LCM Method:
What is 8/7 plus 7 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 8/7
Fraction B: 7/1
What to be found?
8/7+7 = ?
Find what's the sum of 8/7 and 7.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 8/7 and 7 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 8/7 and 7 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 8/7 and 7:
The LCM of 7 and 1 is 7.
step 4 Write the fractions 8/7 and 7 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=8/7+7
=(8 x 7)/(7 x 7)+(7 x 7)/(1 x 7)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=8/7+49/7
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/7 x (8/1+49/1)
=1/7 x (8 + 49)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/7 x 57
=57/7
8/7+7=57/7
Hence,
8/7 plus 7 equals to 57/7 in fraction.
8/7+7 using Cross Multiplication Method:
