If the fractions have the same denominators, just add the numerators: 2/7 + 3/7 = 5/7
If the fractions have different denominators, it is necessary to make them the same by finding the least common denominator, and converting the fractions.
Example 1/3 + 1/4
The LCD for 3 and 4 is 12.
1/3 = 4/12
1/4 = 3/12
Now that the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators.
4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12
1/3 + 1/4 = 7/12
What else can I help you with?
Why are two fractions converted into like fractions?
Because you can't add or subtract fractions that have different denominators. Making them like fractions, by multiplying so the denominators are the same, you can add and/or subtract them.
When you add fractions do they have to have the same denominator?
Yes you have to add with the same denominator. when ever you do fractions they have to have the same denominator no matter what. So thats a yes
How do you add and subtract fractions with the same denominator?
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.
How do you add two fractions that have like denominators?
In fractions, you can NEVER add or subtract
What is always needed to add fractions?
Fractions! Otherwise you don't have anything to add.
How do I add improper fractions?
Change them into mixed numbers and add the integers and fractions together ensuring that the fractions have a common denominator.
When you add fractions do you add the denominator to?
No.
Why do you flip fractions?
So its easier to add subtract or most commonly multiply
What is the sum of two fractions?
convert the fractions so the denominators are the same if they aren't already. then add the numerators, but keep the denominator the same.
How is adding like fractions and adding unlike fractions the same?
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
How do people add fractions?
so, if you have 1/3 plus 2/3 you just add the denominadeters so it would be 3/3
When you add fractions do you flip improper fractions around?
no
