To add or subtract fractions To add or subtract fractions with like denominators:with like denominators:
• If the denominators are already the same, then you’re ready to add or subtract.
• Add or subtract the numerators. Keep the denominators the same.
• Simplify (reduce) the fraction, if possible.
• If you end up with an improper fraction, change it to a mixed number.
