How to add fractions?
- First, determine the two fractions
Determine the two fractions, x/y, and a/b, that you would like to add together. For this example, we will assume the fractions are 1/2 and 2/3.
- Next, convert the denominators
Convert the two fractions so that they contain the same denominator. This can be done using the LCM of the denominators. For this problem, the LCM would be 6. The fractions would then be 3/6 and 4/6 respectively.
- Add the fractions
Add the numerator numbers together, and keep the denominator the same. 3/6 + 4/6 = 7/6 = 1 1/6.
- Simplify
Simplify the fractions to the lowest possible form.
