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

Can you call 2 equivalent fraction like fractions?
No. Like fractions have the same denominator.
Why do you need a common denominator?
Common Denominator means that the denominators in two (or more) fractions are common, or the same. The common denominator is important because before you can add or subtract fractions, the fractions need to have a common denominator.Sometimes fractions have different denominators, like 2/3 and 3/4. If you want to add or subtract them, they need to have the same denominator. In order to do that, you find a common denominator which is the same thing as a common multiple, only with denominators.
What is the the value of -1 as denominator?
-1 as a denominator changes the sign of the fractions. 1/-2 is the same as -(1/2).
What are like fractions?
Fractions with the same denominators are called like fractions. eg: 2/5 and 4/5 eg: 6/7and 9/7
Two fractions have a common denominator of 8 what could the fractions be?
Any fractions with a denominator of 8. Also, the denominator of one of the fractions might be any factor of 8.

How do you rewrite two fractions as like fractions with the same denominator?
1/2=4/8=1/2
What is a unlike fraction?
You must have 2 fractions or more to have unlike fractions. They are fractions with different denominators such as 7/8 and 1/2. Like fractions would have the same denominator like 7/8 and 4/8.
What are the 3 similar fractions?
Similar fractions are fractions with the same denominator. 1/5, 2/5,/3/5
What is the rule in adding fractions having the same denominator?
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
What does like denominators mean?
A denominanator is the bottom part of a fraction and a like denominanator is 2 or more fractions with the same denominator.
How do you subtract mixed fractions if the denominator is different?
In that case, you first have to convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the same denominator. For example: 1/2 - 1/3 = 3/6 - 2/6 = 1/6.
Are the fractions half and Three fourths equivalent?
To compare if they are the same (ie equivalent fractions), make them both into equivalent fractions with the same denominator and compare the numerators. To find equivalent fractions multiply (or divide) both the numerator and denominator by the same number. → 1/2 = (1×2)/(2×2) = 2/4 → 3/4 = 3/4 The two fractions now have the same denominator (4), so compare their numerators: ½ now has a numerator of 2 whereas ¾ (still ) has a numerator of 3. 2 does not equal 3 so ½ does not equal ¾; ie ½ and ¾ are not equivalent fractions.
What are like fractions?
Fractions with the same denominators are called like fractions. eg: 2/5 and 4/5 eg: 6/7and 9/7
How do you find fractions with the same denominator that are equivalent to the given fractions?
By finding the least common denominator. It's the same process as the least common multiple. Example: 1/2 and 1/3 The LCM of 2 and 3 is 6, so 1/2 = 3/6 and 1/3 = 2/6 To find equivalent fractions, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
