Oh, dude, unrelated denominators are like when you're trying to add fractions but the bottom numbers just don't want to be friends. It's like trying to mix oil and water - they just won't come together nicely. So, basically, when the denominators in fractions are different, they're just not on the same page mathematically.

You have to state the denominators to expect an answer
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.
Not always but they need to have the same denominators when adding or subtracting them.
you must make the denominators the same first in order to add them once they are added, the denominators stay the same and the top combines
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
