I have no idea what andminous means!
Two fractions are similar if they have the same denominator. So, given the two fractions p/r and q/r, their sum is (p+q)/r. You need to check whether or not this can be simplified.
If they are dissimilar (not disimilar!) fractions then you need to rename them first so that they have the same denominator. Some schools insist that you use the least common denominator (or the least common multiple), but this is not necessary. For two fractions, simple cross-multiplication can be easier. Thus a/b + c/d = ad/bd + bc/bd = (ad + bc)/bd. Again, you need to check whether or not this can be simplified.

How do you add disimilar fraction?
You need to make them similar: that is, making sure they have the same denominator. This would be a common multiple of the denominators of the fractions: though not necessarily the least common denominator.
What is the meaning of addition and subtraction of similar fraction?
Similar fractions are fractions with the same denominator. In order to add or subtract fractions they need to be similar.
How do you add the dissimilar fraction?
You have to convert them to equivalent similar fractions (fractions with the same denominator) first.
Rules of adding similar fraction and dicimilar fraction?
if the denominators are the same just add or subtract.for example:2/7+3/7=5/7
How do you add and subtract disimilar fraction?
Give them a common denomiator.... For example - suppose you had the sum 1/3+1/4... Multiply both fractions to a common denominator - 1/3 = 4/12 and 1/4 = 3/12. Now - simply add the numerators together - 4 + 3 = 7. So - your answer would be 7/12
