They are equivalent fractions. For example, if you are adding 1/2 and 1/3 and the common denominator is 6, the two new fractions are 3/6 and 2/6 respectively.
Change them into mixed numbers and add the integers and fractions together ensuring that the fractions have a common denominator.
To add fractions, you have to find their common denominator by multiplying the two denominators together and one of the numerators to the others. Then you add just the top numbers together.
Adding dissimilar fractions involves finding a common denominator for the fractions before adding them together. This common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions being added. Once the fractions have the same denominator, you can add the numerators together while keeping the denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible by reducing it to its simplest form.
Providing all the denominators are the same just add together the numerators otherwise find the lowest common denominator and alter the fractions accordingly
A common denominator is 32.
Change them into mixed numbers and add the integers and fractions together ensuring that the fractions have a common denominator.
find a common denominator for all three and then add all of the numerators together and keep the same denominator

You first convert them to similar fractions, i.e., to fractions that have the same denominator.* Step one: find a common denominator.* Step two: convert both fractions to equivalent fractions that have that denominator.
You DO need a common denominator to add, subtract, or compare fractions. You DO NOT need a common denominator to multiply or divide fractions.
Yes you do.
Providing all the denominators are the same just add together the numerators otherwise find the lowest common denominator and alter the fractions accordingly
A common denominator is 32.
You look for a common denominator; convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the denominator you found; then you do the addition itself.
Find a common denominator, (best is the LCM) Convert both fractions into a form with a common denominator Add numerators, keep sam common denom. Reduce.
You Ned to find a larger common denominator or multiply the denominators to gain a common denominator.
