When adding fractions with unlike denominators it is most helpful if the fractions are renamed using the?
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator.
Why can't you add or subtract fractions that have different denominators?
YOU JUST CANT....go on you try it
Do you add denominators in fractions?
