How do you sum two fractions?
Make the demoninators (bottom numbers) the same by multiplying the top and bottom of one (or both) fractions, then add them as you would with integers.
Addition of similar fractions?
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.
How do I add improper fractions?
Change them into mixed numbers and add the integers and fractions together ensuring that the fractions have a common denominator.
How would you add two mixed numbers that contain unlike fractions?
you would convert the mixed numbers into fractions where the top number is greater than the bottom number, then multiply both the numerator and the denominator by a number that makes the denominators the same.
What is the trick when adding fractions?
The trick to adding fractions is three simple steps. First, make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same. Secondly, add the top numbers (the numerators), put the answer over the denominator. Finally, simplify the fraction if need be.
