Fractions!
Part 1
Adding!
1. Add the numerators to each other if the denominators are like (same denominators).
2. If the denominators aren't like you can find the least common denominator and multiply the present denominator to match the LCD .
3. But remember, you have to multiply the numerator by the same as the denominator!!!
4. Now you just add as if adding like denominators.
5. See easy as pie! (Not pi).
6. If the fraction is a mixed number add the big numbers to the other big numbers, or per perform the popcorn method.
Subtracting!
