Question

How do you multiply add and divide fractions?

Answer 1

Answer:

If the denominators are not the same: First, make them the same. Then add or subtract like fractions with the same denominators.

Step-by-step explanation:

the first step when multiplying fractions is to multiply the two numerators. the second step is to multiply the two denominators.  simplify the new fractions. the fractions can also be simplified before multiplying by factoring out common factors in the numerator and denominator.

to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator. if the denominators are already the same then it is just a matter of either adding or subtracting the numerators if the denominators are difrent then a common denominator needs to be found.
