Adding Fractions b To add two fractions with the same denominator *add the numerators *place that sum over the common denominator To add fractions with different denominators: *find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of the fractions *rename the fractions to have the LCD *add the numerators of the fractions *simplify the Fraction

Subtracting Fractions To subtract two fractions with the same denominator *subtract the numerators *place that difference over the common denominator. To Subtract Fractions with different denominators: *Find the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) of the fractions *Rename the fractions to have the LCD *Subtract the numerators of the fractions The difference will be the numerator and the LCD will be the denominator of the answer. *Simplify the Fraction

Multiplying Fractions b To Multiply Fractions: · Multiply the numerators of the fractions · Multiply the denominators of the fractions · Place the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators · Simplify the Fraction

Dividing Fractions To Divide Fractions: · Invert (i. e. turn over) the denominator fraction and multiply the fractions · Multiply the numerators of the fractions · Multiply the denominators of the fractions · Place the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators · Simplify the Fraction
