How can knowing the GCF and LCM help you when you add subtract and multiply fractions?
Knowing the LCM will help when adding or subtracting unlike fractions. By finding the LCM of the denominators, (called the lowest common denominator) you can convert unlike to like fractions and proceed with the adding or subtracting. Knowing the GCF helps reduce a fraction. By finding the GCF of the numerator and the denominator and dividing both of them by it, you can reduce a fraction to its lowest terms (simplest form). If the GCF is 1, the fraction is in its simplest form. You can successfully multiply fractions without knowing the GCF or LCM.

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...

How do you borrow when subtracting yards and feet?
Most people will just change everything to feet before they start subtracting. If you'd like to keep it in the mixed form of (yards + feet) while you do the subtraction, More Power To You ! Just remember: When you borrow 1 yard, it gives you 3 more feet. When you borrow 2 yards, it gives you 6 more feet, etc. Good luck! We're happy to see you going at it. You can do it.
