well its the same thing its just it got shapes in stead of the number if there is one shape that say three over two and another one is four over two you add the two top numbers and when you add it you put the answer down on the top and the bottom stays the same now if the bottom numbers is not the same i dont know what to do

It is easier to multiply or divide fractions than to add or subtract fractions because in multiplication, you just have to multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator. Same applies with division of fractions, except that you have to reciprocate the fraction you're dividing with (divisor) then proceed to multiplication. Whereas, in addition and subtraction of fractions, you still have to get their Least Common Denominator (LCD).
The naswer will depend on what you mean by "doing" top heavy fractions.
Doing that makes the numbers smaller, so it is easier.
because u tell used tou using fractions.
fractions
you can only find the perimeter of shapes, honey, not fractions.
Multiplying by a reciprocal
this will equal to 48.10 which is very official
just listen to your teachers and review
You can use models by doing simplify
You DO need a common denominator to add, subtract, or compare fractions. You DO NOT need a common denominator to multiply or divide fractions.
It is a simple way of doing so.
When doing fractions, you may cross multiply.
If doing it without a calculator, then convert each mixed fraction into a top-heavy equivalent fraction and then multiply as for fractions.
