If the fractions do not all have the same denominator, find a common multiple of the denominators (ideally the lowest common multiple) and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with this denominator.

Now with all the fractions with the same denominator, add together the numerators.

Finally, reduce the fraction to simplest terms, converting any improper fraction to a mixed number.

How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than 1 less than 1 or equal to?

To determine whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than, less than, or equal to 1, you need to add the numerators of the fractions together and compare the result to the common denominator. If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be less than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be equal to 1.

How do you find the average of fractions?

To find the average of fractions, you first need to find a common denominator for all the fractions. Once you have the fractions with the same denominator, add them together to find the total. Then, divide the total by the number of fractions you added together to find the average. Remember to simplify the fraction if possible.
