2 24 Adding & Subtracting Fractions With Unlike Denominators
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes1,275 views
This document provides examples for adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. It explains that to add fractions with different denominators, you must first find the least common denominator and convert the fractions so they have the same denominator. Then you can simply add the numerators and keep the common denominator. Subtraction follows the same process. Several word problems are worked through step-by-step as examples.
