Addition and Subtraction of Like Fractions

Last updated at May 29, 2023 by

Like fractions are those fractions where denominators are same

Β 

Eg: Β  1/3, 2/3, 4/3, 8/3

Β  Β  Β  Β  Β 2/9, 4/9, 6/9, 8/9

Β 

Add 1/3 & 4/3

Β  1/3Β  + 4/3

Β 

Since denominator is same,

we add numerators

Β 

Β  Β  = (1+ 4)/3

Β  Β  = 5/3

Β 

Subtract 2 / 9 from 6 / 9

Β  6/9 Β βˆ’ 2/9

Β 

Since denominator is same,

we subtract numerators

Β  Β  = (6 - 2)/9

Β  Β  = 4/9
