Adding and Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators

The video tutorial explains how to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators. It begins with a review of adding fractions with like denominators, emphasizing that numerators are added while denominators remain unchanged. The tutorial then explores adding fractions with unlike denominators, demonstrating the need to find a common denominator by renaming fractions. An example is provided to illustrate the process. The video concludes with a similar approach to subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, highlighting the importance of equivalent fractions.
