How do you find the sum of two mixed numbers?
To find the sum of two mixed numbers, turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions (multiply the base with the denominator and add the numerator), then add the two fractions. To add the two fractions, find the LCD (lowest common denominator) and add the two numerators, but leave the denominators the same.
What are two fractions that represent the same number called?
They are equivalent fractions
What is the halfway between fractions?
Halfway between two fractions would be the average of the two fractions, so add the two fractions together and divide by two! Let's take 1/2 and 3/4 as an example. Add 1/2 (or 2/4) and 3/4 and you get 5/4. Now divide by two ( or multiply the bottom part by two) and your answer is 5/8!
How do you find the mean of two fractions?
Add them together, then divide by 2.
Finding the average of two fractions?
Add them together, divide by 2.
When you add two fractions together the answer is called a?
An answer.
What is the answer called when you add two fractions?
The sum, just like regular adding.
How do you add two fractions that have like denominators?
In fractions, you can NEVER add or subtract
When you add fractions you are finding their?
The answer to an addition is called the sum. Fractions and other numbers.
How do you find the number between two fractions?
There are an infinite number of different fractions between two fractions. If you want the one that's exactly in the middle, half-way between them, there's only one of those. It's called the "average" of the two fractions. Find it like this: -- Add the two fractions together. -- Divide the sum by 2 .
How do you find the sum of two mixed numbers?

To add the two fractions, find the LCD (lowest common denominator) and add the two numerators, but leave the denominators the same.
Why are two fractions converted into like fractions?
Because you can't add or subtract fractions that have different denominators. Making them like fractions, by multiplying so the denominators are the same, you can add and/or subtract them.
What you called when you subtract two fractions?
subtracting fractions
How do you add two fractions with a different denominator?
You add two fractions with a different denominator by multiplying the denominators by a number that will make them equal. Be sure to multiply the numerator by that number too.
How do you add two fractions with the same denominator?
numerators you add, denominators you leave it the same
Why is it inaccurate to simplify add the numerators if two fractions with unlike denominator?
Because that is not how addition of fractions is defined.
Why are equivalent fractions important when adding and subtracting fractions?
Because to add or subtract two fractions you first have to find equivalent fractions for both which have the same denominator.
