How do you add fractions with different denominators?
Back
To add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator, convert the fractions, and then add the numerators. For example, to add 1/3 and 1/4, the common denominator is 12, so convert to 4/12 and 3/12, then add to get 7/12.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the process for subtracting fractions?
Back
To subtract fractions, ensure they have a common denominator, convert if necessary, and then subtract the numerators. For example, to subtract 3/4 - 1/4, keep the denominator 4 and subtract the numerators: 3 - 1 = 2, so the answer is 2/4 or 1/2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

A common denominator is a shared multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions, allowing them to be added or subtracted. For example, for 1/3 and 1/4, the common denominator is 12.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you simplify a fraction?
Back
To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). For example, to simplify 8/12, the GCF is 4, so divide both by 4 to get 2/3.
