You can, but unless the denominators are the same, you won't get the right answer.
Just simply add/subtract the numerators then copy the denominator.
To add fractions, you cannot simply add the numberators and add the denominators. To add fractions, they must first have the same denominator. Once they have the same denominator, you can then simply add the numerators.
The same way as proper ones. Find a common denominator, add the converted numerators, simplify if possible.
You must first convert the fractions to a common denominator. Then just add the numerators (the top part of the fraction).
To add fractions, you must make sure that the denominators of both of the fractions are the same, then you add the numerators. Example: 1/6 + 3/6 Since the denominators are the same, just add the numerators. The answer is 4/6 (It is 1/2 when simplified).
to add a fraction, get a common denominator, then add the numerators. example: 2/10+4/5 first get common denominators 2/10+8/10 then add the numerators 10/10 (simplify) 1 to subtract from a fraction, get common denominator, then subtract the numerators. example: 4/5-2/10 first get common denominators 8/10-2/10 then subtract the numerators 6/10 (simplify) 3/5
You need common denominators. Then add or subtract the numerators. If the answer is an improper fraction it is common practice to reduce it to a mixed number.
1/4+2/4 = 3/4 because the denominators are the same just add together the numerators
First find a common denominator. Then, add the numerators together. Simplify if possible.
subtract? Find a common denominator (LCD is preferred). Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the LCD. Add numerators, keep LCD as new denominator. Reduce the fraction.
You first add the numerators then take the denominator to the bottom of the sum of the numerators.
I wouldconvert both to improper fraction,find a common multiple (CM),calculate equivalent fraction with CM as the denominator,add the numerators,change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction, if required,simplify the fractional part of the mixed fraction - if appropriate and required.
