In order to add fractions you need to change the denominators to make sure they are the same. Then, all you have to do is add the two numerators like normal and keep the denominator the same.

Hope this helps!!!! :D

Hello There!

First, you need to make sure that the denominators are equal. You must have equal denominators to add fractions.

Next, add the numerators together. The numerator is the top number of the fraction and this is added when the denominators are equal. Do not add the denominators together leave them alone!

Finally, add up the numerators and get your sum.
