Explanation:

Step 1: Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same

Step 2: Add the top numbers (the numerators), put that answer over the denominator

Step 3: Simplify the fraction (if needed)

ex. 2/3 + 2/6

I have multiplty 2/3 *2/2 in other to have matching denominators.

when I finish multiplying 2/3 *2/2 i get 4/6 and now I have a fraction that looks like this 4+2/6. Now I add 4 and 2 and u get 6 and now I have 6/6 and i once u simplify it I get 1.
