What is 9/2 plus 11/14 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 9/2
Fraction B: 11/14

What to be found?
(9/2) + (11/14) = ?
Find what's the sum of 9/2 and 11/14.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 9/2 and 11/14 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 9/2 and 11/14 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 2 and 14 is 14.

step 4 Write the fractions 9/2 and 11/14 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 9/2 + 11/14
= [(9 x 14)/(2 x 14)] + [(11 x 14)/(14 x 14)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 63/14 + 11/14

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/14 x (63/1 + 11/1)
= 1/14 x (63 + 11)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/14 x 74
= 74/14
= 37/7
