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.
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.

Subtracting a fraction is the same as adding its negative.
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.
You must first convert the fractions to a common denominator. Then just add the numerators (the top part of the fraction).
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.

For adding or substracting fractions first of all we should calculate the LCM( Lowest Common Multiplier) of the denominators in both of the fractions.

I'd tell you but I don't know. Ha.-_________________-
Apart from the fact that you are dealing with fractions, not a lot.

It is an instruction as to what you are required to do with some fractions.
adding fractions is like adding a WHOLE lot of parts of numbers
When adding or subtracting fractions their denominators must be the same
Ensure that the denominators are the same when adding or subtracting fractions.
