Adding Fractions with common denominators

Adding Fractions with different denominators Problem: You can’t add fractions with different denominators without getting them ready first. They will be ready to add when they have common denominators Solution: Turn fractions into equivalent fractions with a common denominator that is find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of the two denominators

Finding the Lowest Common Denominator The lowest common multiple of two numbers is the lowest number in BOTH lists of multiples Multiples of 2 are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10…… Multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, ……… What is the lowest common multiple?

Finding the Lowest Common Denominator The lowest common multiple of two numbers is the lowest number they will BOTH divide into 2 divides into 2, 4, 6, 8….. 3 divides into 3, 6, 9…. What is the lowest number 2 and 3 both divide into?

You can’t add fractions with different denominators + The Lowest Common Multiple of 2 and 3 is 6 so turn all fractions into sixths Special form of 1

Lowest common denominator is 10 so make all fractions tenths

Turn both fractions into twelfths

What is the lowest number BOTH 3 and 7 divide into? Finally the fractions are READY to add. I just have to add the numerators 9+14=23 It is 3/3 So I multiply 3/7 by 3/3 It is 7/7 So I multiply 2/3 by 7/7 What is the lowest number BOTH 3 and 7 divide into? Hmmmmm?????? What special form of 1 will change 7 to 21. Hmmmm? What special form of 1 will change 3 to 21. Hmmmm? It is 21. So that is my common denominator Now 3x3=9 and 2x7=14 Now I know the new numerators

Adding Mixed Numbers Separate the fraction and the whole number sections, add them separately and recombine at the end
