Mmm … doughnuts
adding fractions with like denominators
![Page 2: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Let’s say you have a doughnut
Yum! and you eat ½ of it
![Page 3: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Now you only have ½ a doughnut
![Page 4: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Your cousin has 1 ½ doughnuts, and you’re feeling kind of full, so you give her your half of a doughnut
1 ½ + ½ = 2
![Page 5: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What if both you and your cousin had 1 ½ doughnuts?
1 ½ + 1½ = 3

Adding fractions
with like denominators
![Page 7: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What’s a like denominator ?
“Like denominators” means the bottom numbers in
the fractions you are adding are the same, like this:
• ¼ + ¾
and they are NOT like this
2/3 + 3/5
![Page 8: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Adding fractions
Fractions that have LIKE denominators are added exactly the same as whole numbers
1 + 1 = 2
½ + ½ = 2/2
![Page 9: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Fractions that equal whole numbers
Whenever the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) are equal, the fraction equals 1
4 4 = 1
9 9 = 1

Fractions that equal 1, in doughnuts
½ + ½ = 2/2 = 1
![Page 11: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
WHAT ARE MIXED NUMBERS?
and how to add them
![Page 12: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A mixed numberincludes a whole number and a fraction
12/3
32/3
64/7
![Page 13: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How to add mixed numbers 11/3 + 22/3
1. Add the fractions 1/3 + 2/3 = 1
3. Add your results from the first two steps 1 +3 = 4
2. Add the whole numbers 1+2 = 3
11/3 + 22/3 = 4
![Page 14: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Two more points to know
![Page 15: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
You can switch the steps around and it still works …. 11/3 + 22/3
2. Add the fractions 1/3 + 2/3 = 1
3. Add your results from the first two steps 3 +1 = 4
1. Add the whole numbers 1+2 = 3
11/3 + 22/3 = 4
Still
![Page 16: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SOMETIMES THE MIXED NUMBERS ADD UP TO ANOTHER MIXED NUMBER
It doesn’t matter. You still find the answer the same way
![Page 17: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sometimes the fractions add up to a mixed number 11/3 + 11/3
1. Add the fractions 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3
3. Add your results from the first two steps 2/3 + 2 = 22/3
2. Add the whole numbers 1+1 = 2
![Page 18: Mmm … doughnuts adding fractions with like denominators.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfa51a28abf838c97bb3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Mixed numbers, in doughnuts
11/3 +11/3 = 22/3
Your doughnuts = 11/3 Cousin’s doughnuts = 11/3
