You can't even do that simple addition without first changing both fractions to
something common, even if you do it in your head and do it so fast that you

What else can I help you with?
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]
How do you add and subtract fractions in math?
You need common denominators. Then add or subtract the numerators. If the answer is an improper fraction it is common practice to reduce it to a mixed number.
How do you subtract fractions in simplest form?
You first need to find a common denominator, not necessarily the least common denominator. Next, you rename the fractions according to the common denominator. Only then can you subtract the fractions. After subtraction you should simplify the answer.
Why do you need to find a common denominator before you can add or subtract fractions with unlike denominators?
Because if you skip that step . . . -- you'll need to invent your own method for adding fractions with different denominators, because every method you'll ever be taught or find on your own requires common denominators, and -- the answer you get will be wrong.
What is 6.3x-88.2 commond dinominator and in simplest form?

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.
How do you add and subtract fractions in math?

Why do you need to use common denominator?

How is finding the LCM revelant when adding and subtracting fractions?
