Adding Fractions- Step 1- Make sure both the fractions have a
common denominator. › Example- 1/3 + 1/6 = ?
^Not the same^
Find a common denominator› Multiply 1/3 by 2 on the top and bottom› (2)(1) = 2 (2)(3) = 6› New fraction = 2/6

Adding Fractions- Step 2- Now having common denominators we
can add the fractions
Only add the numerators (top)› 2/6 + 1/6 = › 2 + 1 = 3› Denominator remains 6› Answer 3/6

Adding Fractions- Step 3- If possible simplify your answer
› Does 3/6 equal something else?› Find the greatest common factor› 3/6 = 1/2 because the GCF was 3› 3 ÷ 3 = 1 and 6 ÷ 3 = 2

Subtracting Fractions- Step 1- Make sure the denominator are the
same › Example- 1/2 - 1/10 = ?
^Not the same^ Find a common denominator
› Multiply 1/2 by 5› (1)(5) = 5 (2)(5) = 10› New fraction = 5/10
![Page 6: Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050910/56815ec4550346895dcd4d34/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Subtracting Fractions- Step 2- Now that we have common
denominators we can subtract!
Only subtract the numerators.› Example- 5/10 – 1/10 = ?› 5 – 1 = 4› Denominator remains 10› Answer – 4/10

Subtracting Fractions- Step 3- If possible simplify your answer.
› Does 4/10 equal something else?
› Find the greatest common factor› 4/10 = 2/5 because the GCF is 2 › 4 ÷ 2 = 2 and 10 ÷ 2 = 5

Multiplying Fractions- Step 1-
Multiply the numerators
› Example- 1/2 x 2/5 = ?› 1 x 2 = 2
*This time we don’t need a common denominator!

Multiplying Fractions- Step 2-
Multiply the denominators
› Example- 1/2 x 2/5 = ?› 2 x 5 = 10
![Page 10: Adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050910/56815ec4550346895dcd4d34/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Multiplying Fractions- Step 3-
If possible simplify your answer
› Answer – 2/10› Find the greatest common factor› 2/10 = 1/5 because the GCF is 2› 2 ÷ 2 = 1 and 10 ÷ 2 = 5

Dividing Fractions- Step 1- “Skip, Change, Flip” Don’t change the first fraction – Skip Change the ÷ to a x - Change Flip the second fraction upside down
(the reciprocal)- Flip
› Example- 1/3 ÷ 2/4 becomes 1/3 x 4/2

Dividing Fractions- Step 2- Multiply the numerators
› 1 x 4 = 4
Multiply the denominators› 3 x 2 = 6
› Answer- 4/6

Dividing Fractions- Step 3-
If possible simplify your answer
› Find greatest common factor› Answer- 4/6› 4/6 = 2/3 because the GCF is 2› 4 ÷ 2 = 2 and 6 ÷ 2 = 3
