When adding or subtracting fractions first make sure that the denominators are the same if they aren't then find the lowest common denominator and alter the fractions accordingly
If the denominators are different, find a common denominator, convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the same denominator, proceed with adding the numerators, put that total over the denominator, simplify if possible. If the denominators are the same, skip the conversion, proceed with adding the numerators, put that total over the denominator, simplify if possible.
If you are adding or subtracting fractions with the same denominator, you can add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. 1/8 + 3/8+ 3/8 = 7/8, for example
The denominators must be the same, the numerators can be different.

Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions. If the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators. If the fractions have different denominators, you have to convert to a common denominator first.Subtracting fractions is similar to adding fractions.

When adding or subtacting fractions make sure that the denominators are of the same values if they are not then find the lowest common denominator.
Yes, but the numerator is different,same as adding fractions

They have to have the same denominator.
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. Then add and simplify.
Sum of the fractions = sum of numerators divided by their common denominator. Adding Fractions rule implies to addition of fractions having same denominator and as well as adding fractions with different denominators. So rule for adding fractions having the same denominator is add the numerators and simplify For example : 3/5 + 2/5 + 9/5 = (3 + 2 + 9)/5 [add the numerators] = 14/5
When adding two or more unlike fractions, yes.
If you are adding or subtracting unlike fractions, convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
The first step is to make the denominators the same.
If the denominators are different, find a common denominator, convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the same denominator, proceed with adding the numerators, put that total over the denominator, simplify if possible. If the denominators are the same, skip the conversion, proceed with adding the numerators, put that total over the denominator, simplify if possible.
Yes but they all must have the same common denominator
