You convert to a common denominator first. Then you add or subtract the numerator and write it in simplest form

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.
How do you add two fractions with a different denominator?
You add two fractions with a different denominator by multiplying the denominators by a number that will make them equal. Be sure to multiply the numerator by that number too.
Why does the equivalent fraction make adding and subtracting fractions easier?
You cannot add or subtract fractions with different denominators. If the denominators are different then you need to work with equivalent fractions.
How do you add and subtract by fractions?
If the fractions have the same denominator, add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible. If the fractions have different denominators, find the LCM of the denominators and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with like denominators. Then add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible.
Why can't you add or subtract fractions that have different denominators?
YOU JUST CANT....go on you try it

Why would you want to rename fractions with the LCD?
Possible reasons: To add or subtract fractions, To compare fractions with different denominators.
How do you add two fractions with a different denominator?

When you add fractions do you have to find a common denominator?
Only if the denominators are different.
Can you add fractions with different denomintors?
Sure. Convert them to a common denominator.
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.
How do you turn a fraction into a different fraction?
You can add or subract other fractions to it, or reduce it.
How do you add two fractions with different denominators?
sex is very nice :3
How do you add and subtract fractions with the same denominator?
it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.
How do you add and subtract by fractions?

Why is it important to add together fractions?
because you can find out different amounts put together
