Question

Question: When you do adding fractions, do you have to find a common demoniter? *sorry for misspelling*

Answer 1

Answer: yes when your adding or subtracting fractions you must find the common denominator between the two before you continue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: 2/4+3/2

Find the common denominator. ( in this case the common denominator is 4)

We keep the first fraction as it is cause it has the denominator 4 and we multiply the second fraction by 2 up and down to get a denominator of 4. The equation becomes 2/4+6/4

Now you add the numerators and you got your answer ( don’t forget to simplify)

The answer after adding in this case is 8/4 and when simplified it is 2
