Read the problem.
Look at the region below. We say: 4 eighths plus 3 eighths equals 7 eighths
We write 84 +
83 =
87
Sum of numerators Same denominator
Let’s solve the problems following the steps in problem solving.
1. What is asked for? The part of the cake that was eaten.
2. What are the given data?
• 84 part of the cake eaten by the children
• 83 part of the cake served to the guests
Mother baked a cake. The children ate 84 of the cake. Some guests
came and were served 83 of it. What part of the cake was eaten.

3. What is the mathematical sentence?
84 +
83 = n
4. So, 84 +
83 =
87
Let’s have another example. Study this diagram and state the addition of two fractions.
+ =
41
42
43
- When you add the two fractions, do you add the numerator? Yes
Do you add the denominators? No Why? Because the denominators are the same
- What kind of fractions are they? Similar fractions Find the sum of these illustrations.
61
62
What is the sum? 63
Is 63 in lowest terms? no
4
How can you express it in lowest terms? Divide the numerator and denominator by the same number, which is 3. 3 ÷ 3 1
= 6 ÷ 3 2
A. Find the value of n. Copy and answer the mathematical sentences in your notebook. Express the answers in lowest terms if needed. Use the figure to help you.
1) 2) 3)
21 +
21 = n
41 +
42 = n
64 +
61 = n
4) 5)
51 +
54 = n
82 +
84 = n
B. Add and express each sum to lowest terms, if possible
Do them in your paper. 1)

C. Read the problem carefully. Then solve them on your paper.
1) Cresie has 81 metre of red ribbon and
84 metre of blue ribbon. How much
ribbon does Cresie have?
2) Henry gives Cresie another 86 metre of red ribbon. How many metres of
red ribbon does Cresie have now?
3) Wincel mixed 42 litre of white paint and
43 litre of blue paint. What part of
a litre is the mixture?
4) Katrina and Aga spent 21 hour practicing their first song and
21 hour
practicing their second song. How much time was spent practicing both songs?
How do we add similar fractions?
To add similar fractions, add the numerator and write the sum over the common denominator. Express the sum in lowest terms, if possible
