Best Answer

If the denominators are different, find a common denominator, convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the same denominator, proceed with adding the numerators, put that total over the denominator, simplify if possible. If the denominators are the same, skip the conversion, proceed with adding the numerators, put that total over the denominator, simplify if possible.
