What must a fraction have before we add before we can add them?
They must have the same denominators.
How do you add fraction with common denominators?
To add fractions w/ common denominators, like 2/5 + 1/5, you must ONLY add the numerator, or the top numeral.
Does adding numerators and denominators work in fraction addition?
To add fractions, you cannot simply add the numberators and add the denominators. To add fractions, they must first have the same denominator. Once they have the same denominator, you can then simply add the numerators.
What do you need to do before you add a fraction?
You need to find the least common multiple of their denominators.
How using fraction strips with like denominators make it possible to add fraction with unlike denominators?
You need to answer this question because your teacher is looking for your critical thinking skills and how well you understood the lesson.

How does using fraction strips with like denominators make it possible to add fractions with unlike denominators?
because they are the same number

Why cant you add the numerators in a fraction problem?
You can, but unless the denominators are the same, you won't get the right answer.

How do you add mixed fractions with another mixed fraction?
You convert them both to improper fractions by multiplying the denominators by the whole number and then adding the numerator to it. This number goes in the numerator and the denominator stays the same. Then you do this for the other fraction, making sure that the denominators of each fraction are equivalent. Then add the fractions as normal.
Why does the equivalent fraction make adding and subtracting fractions easier?
You cannot add or subtract fractions with different denominators. If the denominators are different then you need to work with equivalent fractions.
When do you add fractions when baking?
In order to add fractions, they must have the same denominators. If the fractions you wish to add do not already have the same denominators, they can be made to do so by finding the right number by which to multiply both the numerator and the denominator of each fraction. To find this number, multiply all the distinct denominators together, then multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by a number found by the dividing the product of the distinct denominators by the denominator of the particular fraction concerned. All the fractions will then have the same denominator. Add the numerators of such fractions together to find the numerator of the sum; its denominator will be the one common to all the fractions.
How to do plus in fraction?
To add fractions, you must make sure that the denominators of both of the fractions are the same, then you add the numerators. Example: 1/6 + 3/6 Since the denominators are the same, just add the numerators. The answer is 4/6 (It is 1/2 when simplified).
If the denominators are different do you add them?
No. Convert them to like denominators and add the numerators.
