2/8 + 3/6 First, you have to make the denominators equal(the number on the bottom, so in this case the 8 and the 6). This is called finding the LEAST COMMON DENOMINATOR. 8 and 6 both go into 24 with no remainder To get the denominators to be 24, you have to multiply 8 by 3 and 6 by 4. Now, since you multiplied the denominators by a number, you have to multiply the numerator with that same number. 2 * 3 = 6 and 8 * 3 = 24 3 * 4 = 12 and 6 * 4 = 24 12/24 + 6/24 Now you can add the fractions together! Since the denominators are equal, add the numerators together. 6 + 12 = 18 The denominator remains the same so the answer is: 18/24
