Adding+Fractions+(=



 =We Will Show you how to add fractions  =  Example: 3/4 + 5/6 First of all you have to know what the fraction is, and what it represents. the numerator (1) represents how many pieces, is taken/eaten the denominator (2) represents how many pieces it is cut into. • For you to add a fraction you need a question. an example 1/2 + 1/2 = • Its like having a half of a pizza, then you get another half a pizza and that gives you two halves which are equal to 1/2.

here is a picture for an example:

If its a harder question for example like 1/4 + 1/2 = (two different denominators!) you need to think about: • common denominators - common denominators, are when the denominator goes with the other denominator, without making a big mess. • fractions are equivalent to others - equivalent means that they are equal. • it should always be fitting in to the denominator like how 4 fits in to 4, 8, 12, 16 etc. and how 2 fits into 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 etc. you have to pick the smallest number which both numbers fit in. In this case the number is 4!
