Last updated at March 12, 2019 by Teachoo
Like fractions are those fractions where denominators are same
ย
Eg: ย 1/3, 2/3, 4/3, 8/3
ย ย ย ย ย 2/9, 4/9, 6/9, 8/9
ย
Add 1/3 & 4/3
ย 1/3ย + 4/3
ย
Since denominator is same,
we add numerators
ย
ย ย = (1+ 4)/3
ย ย = 5/3
ย
Subtract 2 / 9 from 6 / 9
ย 6/9 ย โ 2/9
ย
Since denominator is same,
we subtract numerators
ย ย = (6 - 2)/9
ย ย = 4/9
