Addition and Subtraction of Like Fractions

Like fractions are those fractions where denominators are same
Eg: 1/3, 2/3, 4/3, 8/3
2/9, 4/9, 6/9, 8/9
Add 1/3 & 4/3
1/3 + 4/3
Since denominator is same,
we add numerators
= (1+ 4)/3
= 5/3
Subtract 2 / 9 from 6 / 9
6/9 − 2/9
Since denominator is same,
we subtract numerators
= (6 - 2)/9
= 4/9
