Because to add or subtract two fractions you first have to find equivalent fractions for both which have the same denominator.
They are called like fractions.In order to add or subtract fractions you will usually need to convert them to like fractions. Then you simply add or subtract the numerators (as required) to form the numerator of the answer. The same (or common) denominator is the denominator of the answer. You may need to simplify the resulting fraction.
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.
First you add the fractions then add the whole numbers I'd you can you can reduce the fractions bye multiplying Hope you have fun!😺🐆💙💎💖🐾
To find the average of fractions, you first need to find a common denominator for all the fractions. Once you have the fractions with the same denominator, add them together to find the total. Then, divide the total by the number of fractions you added together to find the average. Remember to simplify the fraction if possible.
