Addition of similar fractions

Answer 1

Similar fractions occurs when the denominator or the bottom numbers are the same. In this case, adding similar fractions requires you to add the numerators; the top numbers together, and to keep the denominator the same. An example would be to add 2/8 and 5/8 equals 7/8.

Answer 2

To add similar fractions such as 3/8 and 4/8 you simply add the numerators (top numbers) and keep the denominators(the bottom numbers) the same. so 3/8 + 4/8=7/8
