How do you add if the numerators are the same and the denominators are different?

You have to make the fractions equivalent, which means you need to find the lowest common factor that goes into both the denominators.

If the denominators are different do you add them?
No. Convert them to like denominators and add the numerators.
How do you add two fractions with the same denominator?
numerators you add, denominators you leave it the same
Can you add numbers with different numerators?
Yes, 'fractions' with different numerators can be added, but not with different denominators. In the case where you have different denominators, you must find the LCM (lowest common multiple).
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.
How do you add and subtract by fractions?
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.

How do you Add rational expressions with common denominators and binomial numerators?
If the denominator is the same, you just add the numerators - just as with plain numbers.
What does adding fractions mean?
it means to leave the denominators the same and add the numerators
Do you always have to have like numerators in fractions before you can add or subtract?
No, the denominators have to be the same.
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).
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.
When you add or subtract fractions with the same denominators what happens to the denominator in your answer?
It stays the same. Only the numerators change.
Why will the answer always be one when two numerators add up to the same number as two like denominators?
Yes because the numerators add up to equal a whole number which is 1
