How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than 1 less than 1 or equal to?
If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator the sum is greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator the sum is equal to 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator the sum is less 1.
What are the step in subtracting disimilar fraction?
Same as for adding: If the denominators are not equal, you must first find a common denominator, then convert both fractions to that common denominator.
