like everything in math, fractions WILL pop up down the road. Fractions are needed to represent part of the whole unit. For example, a whole Pizza is one unit, but if you slice it into eight pieces, each piece represents 1/8 of the whole pizza. You can now share fractions of the pizza with friends.

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.

Do you need a common denominator when adding fractions?

Do you need a common denominator for all fractions before doing the order of operations?
You DO need a common denominator to add, subtract, or compare fractions. You DO NOT need a common denominator to multiply or divide fractions.
Why do you convert unlike fractions?
Unlike fractions have denominators that are unequal, and therefore cannot be added or subtracted. If two fractions need to be added or subtracted they must first be converted to like fractions.
How is subtracting fractions like adding fractions?
You need a common denominator for both.
Do you need common denominators when subtracting fractions?
Yes. You need common denominators if you want to:Add fractionsSubtract fractionsCompare fractions ("which is larger?")You do not need common denominators to multiply or divide fractions. Thus, in the case of fractions, multiplication and division is actually easier than addition and subtraction.
Why do you need a common denominator with 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.
Do you need a space when timesing fractions?
No.
How do you convert fractions to decimals on a ti 85?
I need help in how to convert fractions to decimals
How do you get the common denominator for dividing fractions?
You don't need a common denominator to divide fractions.
Does 4 over 5 need to be simplified?
No, unless you want fractions over fractions.
What are compatible numbers for 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.
How architects need the knowledge of decimals fractions and percents?
They need to know about decimals, fractions, and percents because they need to know the exact measures of the things they are designing.
What is the meaning of addition and subtraction of similar fraction?
Similar fractions are fractions with the same denominator. In order to add or subtract fractions they need to be similar.
