The instructions are quite simple, but this is for similar denominators:
1. Line them up.
2. Add the numerators.
3. Put your sum over the same denominator as the other fractions.
4. *ONLY IF THE NUMERATOR IS LARGER THEN THE DENOMINATOR*
Turn the improper fraction into a mixed number. However, if the problem states it wants it as an improper fraction, which normally it won't, leave it as it is.

How do you minnous fractions?
Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.

How are adding and subtracting fractions similar?
Subtracting a fraction is the same as adding its negative.
How is the procedure for adding like terms is similar to the procedure for adding fractions?
Adding like terms can be like adding fractions. You can only add fractions with a common denomonator. You can only combine terms together if they are like. Think of like terms as denomonators. You can only add if they are like.
How can you add similar and dissimilar fractions?
Adding 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.
What are the instruction in adding dissimilar fraction?
You must first convert the fractions to a common denominator. Then just add the numerators (the top part of the fraction).
