The secret to adding and subtracting fractions is finding the least common denominator. For example: 1/5 + 3/10 The smallest integer that is divisible by 5 and 10 is 10. 5*2=10 and and 10*1=10 We multiply each fraction by 10/10: 1/5*10/10 + 3/10*10/10 = 2/10 + 3/10 = 5/10 = 1/2
Subtracting a fraction is the same as adding its negative.
Ensure that the denominators are the same when adding or subtracting fractions.
When adding or subtracting fractions their denominators must be the same
Adding and subtracting fractions are similar processes, but they involve different operations. Both require a common denominator to combine the fractions. When adding, you combine the numerators, while subtracting involves finding the difference between the numerators. Thus, although the steps are alike, the outcomes differ based on whether you are adding or subtracting.
Before adding or subtracting two fractions they are converted into like fractions. Explain with examples why this is necessary.
