Adding and Verifying Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to add fractions by finding a common denominator. It begins with an introduction to the concept of adding fractions and the necessity of having the same denominator. The tutorial then demonstrates how to find the lowest common denominator by listing multiples and adjusting numerators accordingly. Once the fractions have a common denominator, they are added together. The video also includes a method to verify the solution by cross-multiplying. The tutorial concludes with a summary and thanks to the viewers.

Why is it necessary to have a common denominator when adding fractions?

• To change the fractions to decimals
