How is the procedure for adding like terms is similar to the procedure for adding fractions?
Adding like terms can be like adding fractions. You can only add fractions with a common denomonator. You can only combine terms together if they are like. Think of like terms as denomonators. You can only add if they are like.
How do you add unlike fractions?
Change them to like fractions and proceed.
Is combining like terms much harder to do when the coefficients and constant terms are not integers?
The answer depends on how fluently you can work with fractions.
What is the rule for subtracting fractions?
First, change it so that the two fractions have the same denominator (by changing the fractions into equivalent fractions). Once the two fractions have the same denominator, it is simply a case of subtracting the numerators, leaving the denominator the same. Finally, reduce the fraction to its lowest terms (if possible).
Can fractions be added to decimals?
Yes providing you change the fractions into decimals or change the decimals into fractions
