Adding Fractions

Hello friends, in today's post we will study the concept of adding fractions. There are two types of fractions: like fractions and unlike fractions and the method for adding both is different. Below are the ways shown:

• Adding fractions with like denominators
• Adding fractions with unlike denominators

While adding like fractions, simple addition is done by adding the numerators alone. On the other when we adding unlike fractions, first we need to find out the lcm and then take a common denominator and then addition should be performed.

A learning on Equivalent Fractions

Moving further with fractions learning, let's understand the concept of equivalent fractions in today's post. As mentioned earlier fractions are nothing but rational numbers having a numerator and a denominator. Now let's understand what are equivalent fractions.

Two fractions are equivalent when the values of both are similar after simplification. As for example there are two fractions given: 3/4 and 9/16. Fist step is simplifying fractions: 9/16 = 3/4. Therefore, both the fractions are equivalent fractions. Thus, small or large any fractions can be examined in this way whether they are equivalent fractions or not.

Next time, we will learn some other concept of fractions. Till then, enjoy learning this concept. Also do comeback with your feedback.

Learn how to subtract fractions with me

Let's start today's learning with fractions and specifically studying the area of how to subtract fractions. To start with it, we should understand what is a fraction? In simple words, Fraction is a rational number having a numerator and a denominator. As for example: 2/4, 5/8, 8/9 and so on.

Now moving on to subtracting fractions, when the denominators are similar subtraction with fraction is very easy. All you need to do is take the denominator as common and subtract the numerators. But subtracting fractions having different denominators has a slightly different method. At first the LCM of both the denominators has to be found out and then taking a common denominator for both the fractions, the subtraction should be performed.

With mixed fractions, first it has to be converted to an improper fraction and then similar way the fractions should be subtracted. For more help in this topic one can also avail to online help. One can connect with a free math tutor online tutor and learn the subject with one on one conversation.

Next session we will move on at learning some other concepts of fractions. Till then enjoy this session, do practice problems and improve your knowledge over fractions.
