To add dissimilar fractions, first find the least common denominator (LCD), convert both fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators, and simplify the result if possible. This method makes adding fractions with different denominators easy and accurate.
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.
Similar fractions are fractions with the same denominator. In order to add or subtract fractions they need to be similar.
You have to convert them to equivalent similar fractions (fractions with the same denominator) first.
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
if the denominators are the same just add or subtract.for example:2/7+3/7=5/7

Just simply add/subtract the numerators then copy the denominator.

just add the numerator! for example.... 3/4 + 5/4 = 8/4 or 2..... :)
Two fractions are similar if they have the same denominator.So if p/r and q/r are two such fractions, then p/r + q/r = (p+q)/r.
If the fractions have the same denominator, just add or subtract the numerators. 13/20 - 9/20 = 4/20 2/5 + 1/5 = 3/5
You can either add the fractional parts and, if required, convert the answer to a mixed fraction and then add the integer part to the integer parts of the two original numbers; or change both numbers to top-heavy (or improper) fractions, add them and then convert the answer to a mixed fraction.
The fraction will increase.
