How to Add Fractions

Hi everyone. i have noticed all of you to be struggling with adding fractions so i will show you a method you can use to solve these sums

First, the fraction shown here is 2/4 + 1/4. We will get the answer to this sum.

The denominator is the number at the bottom of the fractions. the numerator is on the top. The denominator usally stays the same in most sums but we will look at different denominator sums later.

Like we said last step, in the answer will stay the same in the final sum

After that you just add the top numbers, in this case 2 and 1 so 2+1=3

(remember top plus top)

Easy right? this will give your brain a hard time.

First, you find the lowest common denominator which is the lowest number that both denominatorsgo into

Now, the lowest common denominator is 15 so that goes into our final sum

Now, as labled, you have to times 5*3 and 15*1 because what you do to the bottom must be able to do it on the top so because 5 was timesed by 3 you have to times the diagonally oppisite number

Now that you have timed 2 by 1 and 3 by 3, you get the answers of the numerators (top ones)

i hope everyone understood what i made lol

What if you wanted your super complex answer to be able to be read by everybody?

keep dividing the top and bottom by 2 until one of them reatches a point where it goes into decimals
