How do you add two fractions that have like denominators?
In fractions, you can NEVER add or subtract
How do you add unlike fractions?
Change them to like fractions and proceed.
Why are two fractions converted into like fractions?
Because you can't add or subtract fractions that have different denominators. Making them like fractions, by multiplying so the denominators are the same, you can add and/or subtract them.
Do you add and subtract like and unlike fractions in the same way?
no, to add and subtract like and unlike fractions the denominator has to be the same,
How is the procedure for adding like terms is similar to the procedure for adding fractions?
Adding like terms can be like adding fractions. You can only add fractions with a common denomonator. You can only combine terms together if they are like. Think of like terms as denomonators. You can only add if they are like.

How do you do perimeter with fractions?
just find a common denominator and add like you regularly would with fractions.
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.
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.
Why do you have to turn unlike fractions into like fractions to add or subtract?
because its just one of the rules of math :)
How do you add and subtract fractions with the same denominator?
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.
Do you add the denominator?
When adding like fractions, only the numerators are added.
What are fraction that have same denominator called?
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.
