∙ 10y agoAdding similar fractions is easy, but adding dissimilar ones requires an additional step. Before you begin, you must know a few important key terms. First, the number on the top of a fraction is called the numerator, while the number on the bottom of a fraction is called the denominator. Similar fractions have the same denominator, also called a common denominator. To add dissimilar fractions (fractions with different denominators), you must first convert the fractions so that the denominators are the same.
If their denominators are different then find their lowest common denominator by means of their lowest common multiple remembering to adjust their numerators accordingly before adding or subtracting.
if you have mixed numbers you make them into improper fractions before you multiply
First find the lowest common denominator and then adjust the fractions accordingly before subtracting the numerators
Before adding or subtracting two fractions they are converted into like fractions. Explain with examples why this is necessary.

They have to have the same denominator.
no
You can eliminate the fractions before proceeding to solve the equation to allow for easy factorization.
Not sure about a "valuger" fraction but a vulgar fraction is the same as a common fraction: written as one integer above (or before) a line (slash) and another non-zero integer below (after) it.This is in contrast to mixed fractions, decimal fractions, percentages or those indicated by negative indices (for example 3-2 is one ninth).Not sure about a "valuger" fraction but a vulgar fraction is the same as a common fraction: written as one integer above (or before) a line (slash) and another non-zero integer below (after) it.This is in contrast to mixed fractions, decimal fractions, percentages or those indicated by negative indices (for example 3-2 is one ninth).Not sure about a "valuger" fraction but a vulgar fraction is the same as a common fraction: written as one integer above (or before) a line (slash) and another non-zero integer below (after) it.This is in contrast to mixed fractions, decimal fractions, percentages or those indicated by negative indices (for example 3-2 is one ninth).Not sure about a "valuger" fraction but a vulgar fraction is the same as a common fraction: written as one integer above (or before) a line (slash) and another non-zero integer below (after) it.This is in contrast to mixed fractions, decimal fractions, percentages or those indicated by negative indices (for example 3-2 is one ninth).
Before you can do that, you have to put them all over the same denomanatr. That's why math classes work on common factors and common multiples before you get into adding fractions.
Crude oil is separated into different fractions through a process called fractional distillation, which takes advantage of the different boiling points of its components. This separation allows for the production of various products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, each with specific properties and uses. By separating crude oil into fractions, it becomes possible to optimize the production of different products based on market demand and application requirements.
you must make the fractions equivalent and with the same denomenator
