In order to add fractions you need to have the
SAME DENOMINATOR:
Let's say you have to add
3/2 + 4/5
As you can see, the denominators are different, therefore I need to use some math to make them equal. I will multiply the first fraction by 5 (top and bottom) and the second fraction by 2 (top and denominator)
I get:
3(5)/2(5) + 4(2)/5(2)
15/10 + 8/10
Now I have the same denominator (10) and I can add the top
(15 + 8)= 23 and keep the same denominator.
My final answer is 23/10
