because the denominator is the total, so there can't be two totals in one answer
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
Not always but they need to have the same denominators when adding or subtracting them.
Yes. When multiplying and dividing fractions your denominators do not have to be the same. The denominators only haveto be the same if you are subtracting or adding them.
The denominators must be the same, the numerators can be different.
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.

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. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
Ensure that the denominators are the same when adding or subtracting fractions.

Yes. When multiplying and dividing fractions your denominators do not have to be the same. The denominators only haveto be the same if you are subtracting or adding them.
The denominators must be the same, the numerators can be different.
it means to leave the denominators the same and add the numerators
Adding fractions with like denominators is straightforward, as you simply add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same. In contrast, adding fractions with unlike denominators requires finding a common denominator, which involves identifying the least common multiple of the denominators. Once a common denominator is established, you convert each fraction accordingly before adding the numerators. This extra step makes the process more complex compared to adding fractions with like denominators.
When adding fractions, you want to make sure that the denominators are the same. It's the same process as the LCM.
It depends what you are doing with the fractions. If you are multiplying or dividing fraction, the denominators do not need to be the same and the calculation can be carried out immediately. If you are adding or subtracting fractions, the denominators must be the same; if you have different denominators, the fractions must first be changed into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. When the denominators are the same (or have been made the same as equivalent fractions from being different) the calculation can be carried out.
