How do you add fractions with the same numerator?
The numerator won't make a difference in how easy it is to add them. You need the denominators to be the same. Find the LCM and use that as the denominator. Then adjust the numerators accordingly and add them. Hope this helped :P --- Travis
How do you add mixed fractions with another mixed fraction?
You convert them both to improper fractions by multiplying the denominators by the whole number and then adding the numerator to it. This number goes in the numerator and the denominator stays the same. Then you do this for the other fraction, making sure that the denominators of each fraction are equivalent. Then add the fractions as normal.
How do you write mixed numbers into fractions?
You multiply the denominator by the whole number the add the numerator and you keep the denominator the same.
Do you have to have the same denominator when you subtract fractions?
Yes, but the numerator is different,same as adding fractions
When doing fractions why is it easier to multiply and divide fractions than add and substract fractions?
It is easier to multiply or divide fractions than to add or subtract fractions because in multiplication, you just have to multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator. Same applies with division of fractions, except that you have to reciprocate the fraction you're dividing with (divisor) then proceed to multiplication. Whereas, in addition and subtraction of fractions, you still have to get their Least Common Denominator (LCD).
