1.) a.) What happens when you try to add fractions 3-2 Adding and Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators Use the model to add the fractions. 1.) a.) What happens when you try to add fractions with different denominators? b.) What do we need to do when the denominators are different?

To add or subtract fractions with unlike denominators 1.) Find the LCM of the denominators 2.) Rewrite each fraction using the LCM as the denominator 3.) Add or subtract the numerators, keeping the denominator 4.) Reduce and rename as a mixed number if necessary LCM: Listing method 9: 6: Try some: 1.) + = 2.) - =
