To add fractions, you have to find their common denominator by multiplying the two denominators together and one of the numerators to the others. Then you add just the top numbers together.
You'll not be able to...
No only when adding or subtracting fractions a common denominator is needed
They have to have a common denominator
Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.

A common denominator is needed when adding or subtracting fractions of different denominators.
Yes, you must convert both fractions to the same denominator to add them. Now... Do the rest of your homework yourself!
A Common Denominator
Yes.
You need a common denominator for both.
Many places, but a common one is in adding fractions where we find a common denominator.
No, You only need a common denominator when adding or subtracting fractions.
Find a common denominator and proceed.
