Math Math Math! Simple, straightforward math help! Adding and
subtracting fractions To add or subtract fractions we have to
start by getting the denominators to be identical. We then add
the numerators together and finally simplify the fraction, if
necessary. we first notice that the denominators are both 5 - so
we don't need to do anything in the first step. So, we just need
to add the numerators together and simplify the fraction ...
Lets try another example, say we have the sum ... First we have
to get the two denominators to be the same. To do this we can
... - multiply the numerator & denominator in the first fraction
by 5 - and multiply the numerator & denominator in the second
fraction by 4 This way, the denominator of both fractions will
be equal to 20! Try and practice adding & subtracting fractions
