Adding and Transforming Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to add fractions with different denominators by finding a common denominator. It uses visual aids to demonstrate the conversion of fractions to a common denominator and then adds them to find the sum. The process involves identifying the least common multiple of the denominators, converting each fraction, and then adding the converted fractions to get the result.
