Begin.
In order to add or subtract fractions, the

denominators must be the same. The two
fractions here have the same denominator,
so we can add the fractions easily. You
simply add the numerators together, and
keep the common denominator in the
answer.
Carry our the addition.
Always try to simplify your answer. In this

case we realize that since all fractions are
2
really division,
is simply two divided by
2
two, which equals 1. Notice that this makes
perfect senseone-half of a pie plus onehalf of another pie equals one whole pie.

16) Add or subtract the following

fractions, finding a common
denominator first as needed.
Answer
Begin.
1 1

22 4

denominators must be the same. These two
fractions do not have the same denominator.
We must change one or both of the fractions
so that they have the same denominator
before we can add them.
Do this by multiplying the top and bottom of
one or both of the fractions by any number
you want in order to make the denominators
equal. Then you can just add them as
before. Remember you can always multiply
the top and bottom of a fraction by the same
number, as long as you do it to BOTH the top
and bottom.
In this case multiply the top and bottom of
1
by 2.
