You can represent the two fractions with one fraction with a numerator equal to the sum of the two individual numerators (with sign) and a denominator equal to just one of the two denominators.

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.
How do you find the difference of two fractions with the same denominator?
Subtract as if there were no denominators.
When adding fractions with unlike denominators it is most helpful if the fractions are renamed using the?
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.
How do you add two fractions with the same denominator?
numerators you add, denominators you leave it the same
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.
IS THE LCD OF TWO FRACTIONS THE SAME AS THE LCM NUMERATORS AND FRACTIONS?
The LCD of two fractions is the same as the LCM of their denominators.
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.
What way is subracting fractions with unlike denominators like adding fractions with unlike denominators?
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.

What are like denominators?
That means that two or more fractions have the SAME denominator.
How do you find the difference of two fractions with the same denominator?
Subtract as if there were no denominators.

How do you add three fractions without the same denominators?
When you want to add fractions that have different denominators, you have to convert them into fractions that do have the same denominators. So for example, how much is a half plus a third? Both of these can be converted into sixths, so one half equals three sixths, and one third equals two sixths. Three sixths plus two sixths equals five sixths. That's the answer. If you have three fractions with different denominators, the procedure is the same. Convert all three into fractions with the same denominators, then add them.
What is a dissimilar fractions?
Dissimilar fractions are fractions that have different denominators.
What is the same about two fractions that are like fraction?
They have the same denominators.
How do you add two fractions with the same denominator?
numerators you add, denominators you leave it the same
How do you validate that fractions are equivalent?
The ratio of the two numerators is the same as the ratio of the two denominators.
