Because it tells you how much the fraction is out of.
You DO need a common denominator to add, subtract, or compare fractions. You DO NOT need a common denominator to multiply or divide fractions.
You can add or subtract fractions only if they are "like" fractions, that is, only if they have the same denominator - unless you know your fractions really well.
Unless you are using a calculator that adds them for you, it is much harder to add fractions with uncommon denominators. Having the same denominator allows you to only have to add the numerators for your answer.
No.
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
Common Denominator means that the denominators in two (or more) fractions are common, or the same. The common denominator is important because before you can add or subtract fractions, the fractions need to have a common denominator.Sometimes fractions have different denominators, like 2/3 and 3/4. If you want to add or subtract them, they need to have the same denominator. In order to do that, you find a common denominator which is the same thing as a common multiple, only with denominators.
To get the right answer when you add or subtract unlike fractions.
I am not entirely sure what you mean, but if you need to add, subtract, or compare two fractions, they need to have the same denominator.
Yes, you must convert both fractions to the same denominator to add them. Now... Do the rest of your homework yourself!
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.
Similar fractions are fractions with the same denominator. In order to add or subtract fractions they need to be similar.
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.
