Lets review of our last lesson
Improper Fraction
A fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator
A mixed number (fraction) is a number that has a part that is a whole number and a part that is a fraction
Mixed Number

Divide the numerator by the denominator
The remainder you get put it over the denominator (i.e. in the numerator)
The quotient in the place of the whole number

The improper fraction will be written as
(Whole number x Denominator) + Numerator
Denominator

Lets get Started
- Addition means combining objects in two or more sets- the objects must be of the same type, i.e. we combine bundles with bundles and sticks with sticks.- in fractions, we can only combine pieces of the same size. In other words, the denominators must be the same.

Example 1 8+ 3
8
The answer is (1+3) 8
Which can be simplified to 1 2
Confidential 12
is NOT the right answer because the denominator tells us how many pieces the whole is divided into, and in this addition problem, we have not changed the number of pieces in the whole. Therefore the denominator should still be 8.
(1+3)(8+8)

In this case, we need to first convert them into equivalent fraction with the same denominator
Example:
An easy choice for a common denominator is 3×5 = 15

Addition of Fractions with different denominators
When the denominators are co-prime, we need to multiply the two denominators to get the common
denominator
When the two denominators have a common factor we find the least common denominator by factoring
When one denominator is a multiple of the other denominator the multiple is the denominator

Subtraction of Fractions
- subtraction means taking objects away
- the objects must be of the same type, -i.e. we can only take away apples from a group of apples
- in fractions, we can only take away pieces of the same size. In other words, the denominators must be the same
