There isn't a universal answer to all problems. What you should try to do is find the lowest common denominator between the fractions you are adding.

How do you do perimeter with fractions?
just find a common denominator and add like you regularly would with fractions.
What is the common denominator for fractions three eighths add three fourths?
A common denominator is 32.
How do you add improper fractions if the denominator can't multiply into the other denominator?
You Ned to find a larger common denominator or multiply the denominators to gain a common denominator.
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 is a common denominator needed and when is one not needed?
A common denominator is required to add or subtract fractions and not otherwise.
How do you do perimeter with fractions?
just find a common denominator and add like you regularly would with fractions.
How do you add or subtract dissimilar fractions?
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.
Do you need a common denominator for all fractions before doing the order of operations?
You DO need a common denominator to add, subtract, or compare fractions. You DO NOT need a common denominator to multiply or divide fractions.
Do you have to have a common denominator when you are adding fractions?
Having a common denominator makes it easier to add or subtract fractions. You can also convert fractions to decimals and then do the addition or subtraction but that is really the same thing as having a common denominator of 10. 100. 1000. etc. Without a common denominator, you would have to mentally make adjustments for the values of fractions. Of course, that is really establishing a common denominator in your head.
What you need to add or subtract fractions?
You need a common denominator in order to add or subtract fractions.
When you add fractions do you find the common denominator?
Yes you do.
What is the common denominator for fractions three eighths add three fourths?
A common denominator is 32.
How do you add fractions with unlike denometiors?
You look for a common denominator; convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the denominator you found; then you do the addition itself.
How do you add nonequivalent fractions?
Find a common denominator, (best is the LCM) Convert both fractions into a form with a common denominator Add numerators, keep sam common denom. Reduce.
How do you add improper fractions if the denominator can't multiply into the other denominator?
You Ned to find a larger common denominator or multiply the denominators to gain a common denominator.
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.
Adding unlike fractions?
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.
