Adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators D:

Answer:
(I only did question 11 because the rest is just repetition)
Step-by-step explanation:
make the denominators the same by finding the LCM (lowest common multiple)
(I apologise if I do this incorrectly, the image is very blurry)
So what I did was make the denominator a number that both 2 and 3 can multiply to. (2x3=6 and 3x2=6)
Then whatever you do to the bottom you always do to the top.
- to go from 2 to 6, multiply by 3
- do that to the numerator
- to get from 3 to 6, multiply by 2
- do that to the numerator
= 17/6

When simplifying you need to be able to divide both the top and bottom number in the fraction by one of their factors. A number will be fully simplified when they become a prime number or have one as the numerator.
