Adding Fractions
- If denominators are the same, add the numerators and keep the denominator the same
- Example: 3/7 + 2/7 = 5/7
Adding Fractions with Different Denominators
- If denominators are different, first make them the same
- Then, add the numerators and keep the denominator the same
Subtracting Fractions
- If denominators are the same, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same
- Example: if the problem is 3/7 - 2/7 , you subtract the numerators (3-2), then put that number over the denominator (7), which equals 1/7
