Step-by-Step Solution: 4/30 + 2/3
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
Notice that 30 is an exact multiple of 3 (3 ร 10 = 30). The Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply 30, meaning we only need to scale one fraction.
LCD(30, 3) = 30

4 ร 1/30 ร 1 = 4/30 and 2 ร 10/3 ร 10 = 20/30
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (4 + 20 = 24) and keep the common denominator 30 unchanged.
4 + 20/30 = 24/30
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
