In the Beginning…likefractions
• When we add orsubtract likefractions we havetwo steps– 1st write the
denominator. Itdoes not change
– 2nd add or subtractthe numerators

Always remember!• When adding and subtracting fractions,
you must have like denominators. Ifthey are not the same, you cannotsolve the problem.
• This is different for multiplication anddivision. That is a differentpresentation. BEWARE…

What if you have to add orsubtract fractions withunlike denominators?
• Don’t panic. To solve unlike fractions,there are a couple extra steps (like 7 ifyou want to know…).

Unlike Fractions• These fractions
cannot be added.We must changethe fractions to likefractions.
• Meaning the bottomnumbers must bethe same.

Step One• First, we focus on the
denominators: 3 & 6.• We need to find the Least
Common Denominator.• List on multiples of 3 and
6 until one overlaps.• In this case, it is 6. 12
overlaps but we want thesmallest overlappingnumber.

Step 2• Set-up a
multiplicationproblem and solvefor the missingnumber in thedenominator.
• Note: parenthesis isa multiplication sign.

Rule• What you multiple
the bottom by, youmust multiply thetop by.
• We call this a‘fraction of one’when the top andbottom numbers arethe same.

Step 4• Write the fraction of
one in theparenthesis.
• Each fraction will bedifferent, based onthe missingmultiplicationproblem.(see slide 8)

Step 6• Add the new fraction
problem.• Remember the
bottom numberstays the same.
• Add only the top.!

Subtracting Unlikefractions
• It is the same process!• EXCEPT for step 6: Subtract the new
fractions set; do not add.
