How do you add fractions?​

Answer:

To add fractions, find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) or any common denominator of the fractions. For example, if you wanted to add 1/3+2/7, you find the LCD, which is 21, because 3x7=21, and 3 and 7 are both prime numbers. Now each fraction will have denominators of 21, so we will get 7/21+6/21. To add them together, add the numerators to get 13/21. Find the least common denominator of two fractions and then add the numerators. Hope it helps!
