Question

How do I add fractions?

Answer 1

Like fractions: keep the denominators the same and add the numerators.

Unlike fractions, make the unlike fractions like fractions and add the numerators. If the answer is an improper fraction, make it a mixed number or a whole number.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step 1. The bottom numbers (the denominators) are already the same. Go straight to step 2.

Step 2. Add the top numbers and put the answer over the same denominator:

1 /4 +   1 /4 = 1+1/4  =   2 /4

Step 3. Simplify the fraction:

2 /4  =   1 /2
