Study Notes

  • The text is about adding and subtracting fractions with examples.
  • Fractions can be added or subtracted if they have the same denominator.
  • When adding or subtracting fractions with the same denominator, add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.
  • When eating 1/4 of a pie and then eating another 1/4, you have eaten 1/2 of the pie.
  • When adding 2/5 and 1/5, the denominators are the same, so the denominator of the answer is also 5.
  • When subtracting 3/7 from 2/7, the answer is 1/7.
  • When adding 1/4 and 1/2, the fractions have different denominators, so the denominators must be made the same before adding.
  • The smallest number that is a multiple of both 2 and 3 is 6, so both fractions must be converted to have a denominator of 6 before adding.
  • When subtracting 1/10 from 1, the result is -9/10.
  • When subtracting -1/9 from -1/4, the least common multiple of 0 and 4 is 36, and the denominators must be multiplied by 9 to make them equal.
  • The lessons cover adding and subtracting fractions with the same and different denominators.
