Mathematics

Maybe because you're finding the "difference" between the two numbers. We could also question why the answer to an addition problem is called sum.
Well, 'sum'body said that's what they should be called a long time ago, that's why we're using that term to call them now.

Bill ate 1/4 pound of trail mix on his first break during a hiking trip. On his second break, he ate 1/6 pound. How many pounds
tino4ka555 [31]
Since we know that he ate 1/4 pound one time, and 1/6 another time, we have to add up the fractions. 

1/4+1/6

LCM of 4 and 6 = 12

3/12 + 2/12 

Add the numerators: 

5/12

So, he ate 5/12 of a pound of bars in both breaks. 

Hope this helps!
