Adding mixed numbers with unlike denominators?
First convert the mixed numbers into "top heavy (or "improper) fractions". Now multiply each of the improper fractions by each other - this makes the denominators the same. Now you can add both the fractions together (and cancel down if necessary).
What do you do to add fractions with common denominators?
To add fractions with the same denominators, simply add together the numerators, and cancel down if necessary. For example, 5/8 + 1/8 = 6/8. Cancelling this down to an improper fraction in its simplest form, this is equal to 3/4.
How do you cancel fractions?
im pretty sure all u do is use a proportion
What is half of 3 eighths?
1/2 & 3/8 This is multiplication of fractions. 1/2 X 3/8 This does NOT cancel down Hence 3/16 The answer!!!!!
What is the term used to cancel common factors between top and bottom lines of fractions?
Simplifying the fraction.
write the equivalent fractions of 72 by 96 with having denominator 18?
72/96 Cancel down by '2' 36/48 Cancel down by '3' 12/16 Cancel down by '4' 3/4 Is the fraction in its lowest terms. NB It does not have a DENOMINATOR OF '18'

Does cross-cancellation always reduce two fractions?
No, it is quite possible for the fractions not to have common factors, even if you cross-cancel.
