How to do addition fraction
Answers
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
Step-by-step explanation:
Addition of fraction is done in the following way.
Let's take two fractions 2/3 and 4/9
First Step : We have to take the L.C.M. of the denominators.
The L.C.M of 3 and 9 is 9
2× 3 + 4
Second Step: _________
9
We need to check that 3 times ____ = 9. We get 3× 3 = 9. We need to multiply this 3 with the numerator above 3 i.e. 2. Now, we have to find 9 times ______ = 9. The answer will be 1. Multiply that 1 with 4.
Third Step : 6+4 / 9
The answer is 10/9.
