Question

define the following: 1. proper fractions 2. like fractions.​

Answer 1

Suppose, we have to add 1/2 and 1/3. Then first we will find the LCM of 2 and 3 which is equal to 6.

Now we need to multiply 1/2 by 3 and 1/3 by 2, both in numerator and denominator.

The fractions become 3/6 and 2/6.

Now if we add 3/6 and 2/6, we get;

3/6+2/6 = 5/6
