When adding fractions, we only add the numerators because the fractions must have a common denominator to represent the same whole. The denominator indicates how many equal parts the whole is divided into, so when the denominators are the same, we can simply combine the parts represented by the numerators. This allows us to express the total number of parts while keeping the same size of the whole. Thus, the formula becomes (\frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a + b}{c}).

How do you add and subtract like denominator?
You add or subtract only the numerators
To add and subtract fractions less than 1 you add or subtract only the what?
Numerators
When your adding fractions do you add the numerator?
When adding fractions, you only add the numerators if the denominators are the same. If the denominators are different, you must first find a common denominator before adding the numerators. Once you have a common denominator, you can add the numerators together and keep the common denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
To find the sum of two fractions with the same denominator you just have to add the?
Numerators
If the denominators are different do you add them?
No. Convert them to like denominators and add the numerators.

Numerators
Do you add the denominator?
When adding like fractions, only the numerators are added.
How do add factions with the same denominator?
You first add the numerators then take the denominator to the bottom of the sum of the numerators.
When your adding fractions do you add the numerator?
When adding fractions, you only add the numerators if the denominators are the same. If the denominators are different, you must first find a common denominator before adding the numerators. Once you have a common denominator, you can add the numerators together and keep the common denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible.

How do you Add rational expressions with common denominators and binomial numerators?
If the denominator is the same, you just add the numerators - just as with plain numbers.
When you add or subtract fractions with the same denominators what happens to the denominator in your answer?
It stays the same. Only the numerators change.
If the denominators are different do you add them?
No. Convert them to like denominators and add the numerators.
Does adding numerators and denominators work in fraction addition?
To add fractions, you cannot simply add the numberators and add the denominators. To add fractions, they must first have the same denominator. Once they have the same denominator, you can then simply add the numerators.
To get the answer of a rational expression when you have the same denominator what do you do?
add numerators
Why do you need a common denominator when you add fractions?
Unless you are using a calculator that adds them for you, it is much harder to add fractions with uncommon denominators. Having the same denominator allows you to only have to add the numerators for your answer.
