Adding fractions with different denominators and numerators?

When adding fractions with different denominators you add the fraction with the lower denominator to the fraction with the higher denominator. So, if you have a fraction with a denominator of 6, and a fraction with a denominator of 12, you add the fraction with the smaller denominator to the fraction with the larger denominator. This will produce a fraction with a denominator of 18. Your final answer will be in fraction form. You do not add the numerators

Adding fractions with fractions in the numerator?

The good news is that adding fractions is pretty straightforward, and it’s not as confusing as it sounds. Just take each fraction and find a common denominator. When you have two fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators together and divide the sum by the original denominator.

Adding fractions with same denominator and with numerators?

To add two fractions with the same denominator, find the least common denominator for the denominators of the two fractions and add the two numerators. For example, if you have two fractions with denominators that are each equal to 6, you can add them by adding the two numerators and then multiplying the result by the least common denominator of 6.

Adding fractions with fractions in the denominator?

To add two fractions with different denominators, you need to use the common denominator. You can add fractions with different denominators if they have one shared denominator. For example, to add with you would find the least common denominator of and and add the two fractions using the denominator you chose.

Adding fractions with different denominators and numerators worksheet?

This worksheet will walk you through adding two different fraction problems that have different denominators and numerators. The first example shows adding two fractions that have the same denominator and different numerators. To solve this example, simply make the exponent on one of the numerators equal to the denominator of the other fraction. Add the two numbers together to get the correct answer.
