Answer 2

It is similar because you have to always have the same numerator in adding or subtracting fractions. Adding fractions and subtracting mixed numbers is different because when u have a mixed number you have to simpify it to its lowest terms to make it easy to tell if its a whole number or mixed.

example: 2 1/2 + 3/2= 4 now u know its a whole number but as a mixed number that would be 8/2
