Question

How do I add and subtract fractions? I'm really stuck on this I even asked my mom and my older brother but my brother didn't respond and just said fractions were hard and my mom just didn't know please help.

Answer 1

you need a common denominator in order to add/subtract fractions. for example:

1/4+3/2=?
1/4+6/4=7/4

what i did there was multiply 3/2 by 2/2 to get the denominator to equal 4. the reason it’s 2/2 is cause what you do to the bottom is what you do to the top.

3/2(2/2)= 6/4
