How can you add similar and dissimilar fractions?
Adding similar fractions is easy, but adding dissimilar ones requires an additional step. Before you begin, you must know a few important key terms. First, the number on the top of a fraction is called the numerator, while the number on the bottom of a fraction is called the denominator. Similar fractions have the same denominator, also called a common denominator. To add dissimilar fractions (fractions with different denominators), you must first convert the fractions so that the denominators are the same.
Why is adding fractions such a blast?
you always finish on good terms.
What is the practical use of HCF and LCM?
For adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators and reducing them to their lowest terms.
Why is it helpful to write a number as a product of primes?
Because it helps in reducing fractions to their simplest terms and finding the lowest common denominator when adding or subtracting fractions
Why do use factoring in math?
Knowing the highest common factors of numbers helps to reduce fractions to their lowest terms Factoring helps to find the lowest common multiple of numbers which is useful when adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators.
How is the procedure for adding like terms similar to the procedure for adding fractions?
I'd tell you but I don't know. Ha.-_________________-

How do you compare fractions in terms of similar and dissimilar fractions?
You can compare similar fractions by looking at their numerators. You can compare dissimilar fractions by converting them to similar fractions and looking at their numerators. You can convert a dissimilar fraction to a similar fraction by finding the least common denominator.
When will you need to find the multiples and factors?
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators and when reducing fractions to their lowest terms
What do you call the answer when you add fractions?
If you are adding, the result is a sum. This terminology applies whether the addends (the terms you are adding) are whole numbers or they are expressed as fractions or in decimal notation. The same is true of the sum.
What is a real world situation where it is useful to know about factors and multiples?
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators and when reducing fractions to their lowest terms.
What is the practical use of HCF and LCM?
For adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators and reducing them to their lowest terms.
Why is it helpful to write a number as a product of primes?
Because it helps in reducing fractions to their simplest terms and finding the lowest common denominator when adding or subtracting fractions
Rules in adding polynomials?
To add polynomials , simply combine similar terms. Combine similar terms get the sum of the numerical coefficients and affix the same literal coefficient .
When is it useful to find the LCM or GCF of two numbers to solve a problem?
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators and when reducing fractions to their lowest termsWhen adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators their lowest common multiple is needed and when reducing fractions to their lowest terms their greatest common factor is needed.
How do you know whether to use common factors or multiples to solve a problem?
The hcf is useful in reducing fractions to their lowest terms and the lcm is useful in finding the lowest common denominator of fractions that have different denominators that need to be added or subtracted.
