Two or more fractions having different denominators have unlike denominators. To do addition and subtraction operations with fractions, all fractions must be converted to have like denominators before the numerators can be added or subtracted. For example, 1/2 + 5/6 + 3/8 = 12/24 + 20/24 + 9/24 = 41/24 = 1 17/24

unlike denominators: the bottom number of a fraction. to have unlike denominators you must have two fractions with a different number on the bottom of each fraction.
Unlike. Unlike. Unlike. Unlike.
you make them have like denominators by multiplying so many times that they have the same denominators or you can make them have like denominators by multiplying the two
Convert unlike fractions to equivalent fractions with common denominators by finding the LCM of the denominators.
the fractions have different denominators
