If the denominators are different do you add them?
No. Convert them to like denominators and add the numerators.
Do you add denominators in fractions?
No.
When you add or subtract fractions with unlike denominators why do you have to find LCM?
Because to add fractions, the denominators must be equal.
Why when adding do you not add the numerator or the denominator?
Do not add the denominators together. Though keep in mind that both denominators must be the same to add to fractions together.
How do you add and subtract unlike denominators?
you make them have like denominators by multiplying so many times that they have the same denominators or you can make them have like denominators by multiplying the two
How do you add and subtract by fractions?
If the fractions have the same denominator, add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible. If the fractions have different denominators, find the LCM of the denominators and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with like denominators. Then add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible.
How would you add or subtract fractions with like denominators?
The same way you would add or subtract whole numbers, leaving the denominators alone.
How do you add fraction with common denominators?
To add fractions w/ common denominators, like 2/5 + 1/5, you must ONLY add the numerator, or the top numeral.
How do you add fractions togather?
first make denominators the same and add.
Does adding numerators and denominators work in fraction addition?
To add fractions, you cannot simply add the numberators and add the denominators. To add fractions, they must first have the same denominator. Once they have the same denominator, you can then simply add the numerators.
How do you add two fractions that have like denominators?
In fractions, you can NEVER add or subtract
What must a fraction have before we add before we can add them?
They must have the same denominators.
