Subtract or add the numerator
Subtract or add the numerator
ex: 3/4-1/4=2/4 or 1/2
ex: 5/8 + 1/8= 6/8 or 3/4
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.
no, to add and subtract like and unlike fractions the denominator has to be the same,
In order to add or subtract fractions, they must have the same denominator.
The same as with positive ones. Make sure they have the same denominator and add or subtract their numerators.
he fact that they are improper is irrelevant. Re-scale the fractions so that they have the same denominator and thenadd or subtract as required.
You can add or subtract fractions only if they are "like" fractions, that is, only if they have the same denominator - unless you know your fractions really well.
If the fractions have the same denominator, add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible. If the fractions have different denominators, find the LCM of the denominators and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with like denominators. Then add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible.
You first convert them to similar fractions, i.e., to fractions that have the same denominator.* Step one: find a common denominator.* Step two: convert both fractions to equivalent fractions that have that denominator.
The denominators must be the same before you can add or subtract fractions.
We can only add or subtract fractions if they have the same denominators
It stays the same. Only the numerators change.
Similar fractions are fractions with the same denominator. In order to add or subtract fractions they need to be similar.
