1/2 and 2/4 ? If both fractions are in their reduced forms, there can be no solution where the denominators are different.
Add them together and divide by 2.

To add fractions the denominators must be the same.When the denominators are the same, just add the numerators keeping the denominator for the result, and then simplify the result, eg 1/8 + 3/8 = 1+3/8 = 4/8 = 1/2;If the denominators are different, make the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator, and then use rule 1, eg 1/3 + 1/2 = 2/6 + 3/6 = 2+3/6 = 5/64/7 + 2/7=NEVER ADD THE DENOMINATORS!So you add 4 + 2= 6Then put 6/7 Because you keep the same Denominator.Easy now you can add fractions with the same denominators! :)Hope this helps!
1/10+1/10=2/10 which reduces to 1/5
1/4 + 2/4

it is just what it sounds like... you take 2 or more fractions and add them. So 1/2 and 1/2 =2/2 or1
1/3 + 2/17
first you have to find the common denominator and make the 2 fractions denominators the same then you add them and divide them
Add them together and divide by 2.
Add them together, then divide by 2.
Add them together, divide by 2.

You can totally add fractions with unlike denominators. You have to first find the LCD (least common denominator) to make them the same denomintars. And then you can just simply add them. What you cannot do is add fractions with unlike denominators without changing them to fractions with like denominators. The reason being that you would be attempting to add fractions that are different sizes. 1/2 is not the same size as 1/3, so it would be like trying to add apples and oranges. You have to change them to a common size and that is the reason you have to find the least common denominator first. While you cannot add 1/2 and 1/3, you can add 3/6 and 2/6.
Fractions will need to have the same denominator to add the numerator then reduce the answer as needed to simplest forms. 1/2 + 1/3=3/6 + 2/6=5/6
