How to add fractions
Adding fractions is simple look at the example below.
4 2
- + - = 4+2=6 and you keep the
8 8 denominator the same so
the answer is 6
-
8

THANK YOU
I don't understand your fractions. Please use / to show a fraction.
1/2
3/4
5/10
and so on.
You are correct EXCEPT, you forgot to simplify 6/8 to lowest terms.
4/8 + 2/8 = 6/8 = 3/4
So, 3/4 is the final answer of 4/8 + 2/8. I hope this helps! :)
To add fractions with the same denominator, follow these steps:
1. Write the fractions with the same denominator. For example, if you want to add 4/8 and 2/8, write them as:
4/8 + 2/8
2. Add the numerators (the numbers on top) together. In this example, 4 + 2 = 6.
3. Keep the denominator the same. Since both fractions have a denominator of 8, the sum will also have a denominator of 8.
4. Write the sum as the numerator and the common denominator. In this case, the sum is 6, and the denominator is 8. So, the final answer is 6/8.
If the fractions have different denominators, you need to find the least common denominator (LCD) before adding them. Here's how:
1. Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators.
2. Rewrite both fractions so that they have the same denominator, which is the LCM.
3. Add the numerators.
4. Keep the denominator the same.
5. Simplify the fraction if possible.
By following these steps, you can add fractions correctly.
