because you cant reduce a numerators value without decreasing a denomiators to because the the fraction wouldn't be equevent to the old fraction

Multiply the numerators together then multiply the denominators. Reduce as needed.
You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.
follow these steps: first find a common denominator Next,add the numerators DO NOT ADD THE DENOMINATORS reduce if possible
They are called denominators and numerators!
If the fractions have the same denominator, add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible. If the fractions have different denominators, find the LCM of the denominators and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with like denominators. Then add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible.
