  1. Adding and Subtracting Fractions

  2. DON’T COPY 3 Apples + 5 Apples = 7 Oranges + 4 Oranges = 5 Apples – 2 Apples = 2 Quarters + 5 Quarters = 4 Fifths + 3 Fifths = 7 Halves + 2 Halves = 4 Apples + 6 Oranges = 4 Halves + 6 Fifths = You cannot add things that are not the same type.

  3. When adding and subtracting fractions you can only add them if they have the same denominator (bottom number). and can be added. and cant be added unless we can change the fractions to have the same denominator. 4 3 2 3 1 5 7 8

  4. 1. 5 3 4 4 2. 2 3 7 7 3. 1 14 6 6 4. 3 5 9 9 5. 3 9 12 12

  5. 1. 5 1 7 7 2. 5 3 8 8 3. 4 3 3 3 4. 13 5 8 8 5. 3 9 10 10

  6. If the fractions do not have the same denominator you can change them into equivalent fractions. 1 2 4 3 3 8 11 12 1212

  7. The easiest way is to multiply both denominators together to get the answer denominator. Here 4 x 5 = 20. Here 3 x 4 = 12. 5 3 ? 4 5 20 2 3 ? 3 4 12

  8. What denominators would the answer have? 1. 5 1 ? 7 4 2. 5 3 ? 3 11 3. 4 3 ? 9 5 4. 13 5 ? 2 5 5. 3 9 ? 23 10

  9. The numerators are multiplied by the other denominators. 5 3 4 7 28 28 5x7 3x4 47 35 12 28 2828
