make each fraction a improper fraction the flip the second fraction and multiply straight across then simplify
To subtract dissimilar fractions, first find a common denominator for the fractions. This involves determining the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Once you have the common denominator, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with that denominator. Finally, subtract the numerators of the adjusted fractions while keeping the common denominator, and simplify the result if possible.
For this we have to convert it into fraction which is-6/10. So, 12/20, 24/40 and 60/100 are the equivalent fractions.
Multiply Or Divide Both The Numerator And The Denominator By The Same Number.
You convert them both to improper fractions by multiplying the denominators by the whole number and then adding the numerator to it. This number goes in the numerator and the denominator stays the same. Then you do this for the other fraction, making sure that the denominators of each fraction are equivalent. Then add the fractions as normal.

If doing it without a calculator, then convert each mixed fraction into a top-heavy equivalent fraction and then multiply as for fractions.

two equivalent fractions for 5 over 15 = 1/3, 10/30
for this fraction you can not simplify it, but you could just do decimal points or you could continue the fraction by doing 7/8 X 2 on each side, which would give you 14/16, 28/34 so on and so fourth.
Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer or a common factor. You will have an equivalent fraction.

To find out if two fractions are equivalent, either reduce them both to their simplest forms (which will be the same number if they're equivalent) or convert them to decimals (which will be the same number if they're equivalent). To make an equivalent fraction of a given fraction, multiply the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction by the same counting number.
Multiply both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer or divide both by any common factor. You will have an equivalent fraction.
For example, you can do the multiplication in both cases, simplify each product to simplest terms, and compare. Or, after doing the multiplication, check the product of the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of another fraction - if you get the same product both ways, the products are equivalent.
Change each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the same denominator. 3/8+5/12= 9/24+10/24=19/24
