Rational Numbers Addition and Subtraction

This video tutorial by the 'profe matemático' covers operations with rational numbers, focusing on addition and subtraction. It explains two scenarios: when denominators are the same and when they differ. The 'carita feliz' method is introduced for handling different denominators. The tutorial includes examples and exercises, demonstrating how to simplify results and apply the method to three rational numbers. The video concludes with additional exercises for viewers to practice.

What are the two possible scenarios when adding or subtracting rational numbers?

• Same denominators and different numerators

• Same numerators and different denominators

• Same numerators and same denominators

• Different numerators and different denominators
