Used for adding dissimilar fractions
What is the definition of Adding and Subtracting Like Fractions
Mixed numbers can be converted to improper fractions. Then, it is exactly the same as adding proper ones.
adding fractions
For adding or substracting fractions first of all we should calculate the LCM( Lowest Common Multiplier) of the denominators in both of the fractions.
Before adding or subtracting two fractions they are converted into like fractions. Explain with examples why this is necessary.
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.
