Adding and Subtracting Fractions
📚 Read and Learn
A fraction shows part of a whole. The bottom number is the denominator, which tells us how many equal parts make the whole. The top number is the numerator, which tells us how many parts we have.
When fractions have like denominators, add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. For example, 2/7 + 3/7 = 5/7.
When fractions have unlike denominators, first find a common denominator. For example, 1/2 + 1/4 can be changed to 2/4 + 1/4, which equals 3/4. Always simplify your answer when possible.
