to add a fraction, get a common denominator, then add the numerators.
example:
2/10+4/5
first get common denominators
2/10+8/10
then add the numerators
10/10
(simplify)
1
to subtract from a fraction, get common denominator, then subtract the numerators.
example:
4/5-2/10
first get common denominators
8/10-2/10
then subtract the numerators
6/10
(simplify)
3/5
