To add and subtract fractions, first ensure they have a common denominator by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. Once the fractions have the same denominator, you can add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator unchanged. For decimals, align the numbers by their decimal points, and then perform the addition or subtraction as you would with whole numbers. Lastly, ensure to simplify the result if necessary, especially for fractions.
Make the fractions equivalent then subtract
no, to add and subtract like and unlike fractions the denominator has to be the same,
In fractions, you can NEVER add or subtract
Because you can't add or subtract fractions that have different denominators. Making them like fractions, by multiplying so the denominators are the same, you can add and/or subtract them.

it stay the same when you subtract fractions and when you add fractions.

it is important to learn how to add and subtract fractions because we can use it when a time comes , when we have our own business and others .
A strong working understanding of fractions and decimals is essential for nurses. They must be familiar enough with fractions and decimals to quickly and accurately divide, multiply, add and subtract dosages as well as convert fractions to decimals and vice versa. Conceptual understating of fractions and decimals is essential since half doses, extra doses and time-delayed dosages must be calculated correctly. Nurses also need to know how to convert fractions and decimals to percentages in order to explain medication instructions accurately and easily to their patients.

add them or subtract them, as appropriate!
Yes.
how do we add or subtract decimal? its the same thing as using regular subraction and addition. Example: 12.4 +8.1 ______ =20.5 The same in subtraction! Just keep the decimals alligned!
