My answer is preceded by "how do you use fraction strips?" !. The standard way is to adapt the fractions so they all have the same denominator (the "common denominator". So 1/2 + 1/4 is done by changing the 1/2 to 2/4. Total = 2/4 + 1/4 = (2+1)/4 = 3/4. And 2/5 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 12/30 + 15/30 10/30 + 5/30 = 42/30 = 7/5
