    Study Notes

    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

    Subtracting Fractions with Different Denominators

    • If denominators are different, first make them the same
    • Then, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same
