What else can I help you with?
Do you always have to have like numerators in fractions before you can add or subtract?
No, the denominators have to be the same.
How do subtract two fractions with different denominator?
First find the lowest common denominator and then adjust the fractions accordingly before subtracting the numerators
When asked to find the sum of two mixed numbers with different denominators you should before you add.?
convert both to numbers with lowest common denominator then add
Meaning of adding of dissimilar fractions?
Adding dissimilar fractions involves finding a common denominator for the fractions before adding them together. This common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions being added. Once the fractions have the same denominator, you can add the numerators together while keeping the denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible by reducing it to its simplest form.
Why do fractions need to have a common denominator before add or subtract them?
because it would be diffcult to understand.[you don't add or subtract the demonters]
When do you need a common denominator?
The denominators must be the same before you can add or subtract fractions.
Why do you need a common denominator?
Common Denominator means that the denominators in two (or more) fractions are common, or the same. The common denominator is important because before you can add or subtract fractions, the fractions need to have a common denominator.Sometimes fractions have different denominators, like 2/3 and 3/4. If you want to add or subtract them, they need to have the same denominator. In order to do that, you find a common denominator which is the same thing as a common multiple, only with denominators.
Why do fractions need to have unlike denominator before you add or subtract them?
The question is based on a complete misunderstanding of what is required. Unlike denominators are NOT required!
Do you always have to have like numerators in fractions before you can add or subtract?
No, the denominators have to be the same.
How do subtract two fractions with different denominator?

Do you need a common denominator for all fractions before doing the order of operations?
You DO need a common denominator to add, subtract, or compare fractions. You DO NOT need a common denominator to multiply or divide fractions.

Why do fractions need a common denominator before you add or subtract?
Because the answers will be wrong when adding or subtracting them if they don't have a common denominator.

How do you subtract fractions with unlike?
Before you can add or subtract, both fractions must have the same denominator, andmaking that change without changing the value of either fraction is your job. The bestchoice for a 'common' denominator is usually the least common multiple of the originaldenominators.
How can finding the least common multiple of two numbers help you add fractions?
When you have fractions with unlike denominators, it is necessary to find a common denominator before you add or subtract them. The process is the same as finding an LCM, but since the numbers are denominators, we call it the least common denominator. Example: 1/3 + 1/4 The LCM of 3 and 4 is 12. 1/3 = 4/12 1/4 = 3/12 1/3 + 1/4 = 7/12
