Simple. If you find that one of the denom. goes into the other one, evalute them so the denom. are the same and their numerators are possibly different. Example:
7/42 + 3/6
3/6 = 21/42
21+7=28
ANSWER: 28/42
PS I'm a blonde so :P to all those people who think that we are a race of stupid peeps. We are pulchritudinous, convival, normal people.
Multiply or divide both the numeraters and the denominators the same using GCF.Then look at the numeraters. Good luck!!!!!!!
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.
The denominators are different, so find the equivalent fractions using the LCD , then add the fractions with the denominators.
Subtract the numerators as we normally subtract them and then divide the resultant by the denominator. It's just simple like that.
You need to change the denominators so they are the same ( by timesing them together) E.g. 1/7 1/2 7x2=14
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
Dissimilar fractions are fractions that have different denominators.

When dividing fractions, the denominators don't matter. Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second.

Fractions that are not equivalent are dissimilar fractions * * * * * The term is used more commonly to refer to fractions whose denominators are different.
I assume you mean, with different denominators. If you want to add the fractions, subtract them, or compare them (determine which one is greater), you have to convert them to similar fractions (fractions with the same denominator) first. Converting to similar fractions is not necessary, and usually doesn't even help, if you want to multiply or divide fractions.
Dissimilar fractions.
unlike fractions
Fractions are alike if they have the same denominators; otherwise they are different.
You use them when there are 2 fractions with different denominators.
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.
