Adding Fractions: Example 9
Topic
Fraction Operations
Description
This example demonstrates the concept of adding fractions with unlike denominators. The image shows two fractions that need to be added together. To solve this, one must first find a common denominator, which involves determining the least common multiple of the denominators. Once a common denominator is found, the fractions are converted to equivalent fractions with this common denominator. The numerators are then added, and the resulting fraction is simplified if necessary. This process involves skills such as finding common multiples, converting fractions, performing addition, and simplifying fractions.
