Yes. To do this, you must first convert one of the fractions into a form that has the same denominator as the other fraction. For example:
Sample problem: 1/2 + 3/4 = ?
Convert the first fraction (1/2) so that the denominator will equal the denominator of the second fraction (3/4) as follows:
1/2 * 2/2 = 2/4
2/4 + 3/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
Alternatively, you could do slightly more work by converting both fractions into decimal form using simple division. For example:
Sample problem: 1/2 + 3/4 = ?
1/2=.5
3/4=.75
.5+.75=1.25

How do you add three fractions without the same denominators?
When you want to add fractions that have different denominators, you have to convert them into fractions that do have the same denominators. So for example, how much is a half plus a third? Both of these can be converted into sixths, so one half equals three sixths, and one third equals two sixths. Three sixths plus two sixths equals five sixths. That's the answer. If you have three fractions with different denominators, the procedure is the same. Convert all three into fractions with the same denominators, then add them.
