Before adding or subtracting two fractions they are converted into like fractions. Explain with examples why this is necessary.
They have to have the same denominator.
because fact families are like this 2+2=4,4-2=2 and adding
When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators, it is necessary to find a common denominator to solve the equation. A common denominator is like a common multiple, except its function is as the bottom number in a fraction.
