Addition and Subtraction of Fractions
Last updated at May 29, 2023 by Teachoo
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 β 2/9
Β
Since denominator is same,
we subtract numerators
Β Β = (6 - 2)/9
Β Β = 4/9

Adding & Subtracting Like FractionsLike 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 π/π & π/π 1/3 + 4/3 Since denominator is same, we add numerators = (1+ 4)/3 = 5/3 Subtract π/π from π/π 6/9 β 2/9 Since denominator is same, we subtract numerators = (6 β 2)/9 = 4/9
