How is adding like fractions and adding unlike fractions the same?
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.
What is three eighths plus one fourth?
The denominators are different, so find the equivalent fractions using the LCD , then add the fractions with the denominators.

Fractions can be added and subtracted only if they're fractions?
We can only add or subtract fractions if they have the same denominators
How do you add unlike denominators?
When there are different denominators in fractions, to add them, it is necessary to find a common denominator. Usually this occurs by multiplying them, such as 1/3 + 1/2 would equal 2/6 + 3/6, which becomes 5/6.
