Example:

1 + 3/5 = ?

Step 1: make the denominators the same: 1 = 5/5

Step 2: put the 5/5 into the problem in place of the 1: 1 + 3/5 = 5/5 +3/5

Step 3: add the numerators: 5/5 + 3/5 = 8/5

Example 2:

3 + 6/7 = ?

3 = (3x7)/7 = 21/7

21/7 + 6/7 = 27/7

How do your borrow from a whole number when subtracting fractions?

A mixed number has a whole number and a fraction. A fraction is a number that is less than whole and that has a denominator underneath a numerator. To add or subtract mixed numbers, add or subtract the fractions, then add or subtract the whole numbers. If the fraction portion of a mixed number, such as 2 5/6, is more than the fraction portion of the mixed number you're trying to subtract from, such as 3 1/6, you must borrow from the whole number of the mixed number you're trying to subtract from to make its fraction bigger...
