How do you add fractions with different denominators?

Back

To add fractions with different denominators, first find the least common denominator, convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the LCD, and then add the numerators.

Front

What is the process for subtracting fractions?

Back

To subtract fractions, find a common denominator, convert the fractions to equivalent fractions, and then subtract the numerators.
