Addition of Fractions: For any fractions a/b and c/d,
a + c = ad + bc = ad + bcb d bd bd bd

Finding the sum of two fractions is easy when they have the same
denominator.

Addition of fractions can also be illustrated using a number line:
![Page 7: Visual Models for Fraction Operations](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051515/55895cb1d8b42a643f8b45de/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
¼ + ⅓
Adding Unlike Denominators
= ?

First, find the smallest common denominator of ¼ and ⅓.
1 × 3 = _3_ 4 3 12
1 × 4 = _4_3 4 12
So…
1 = _3_4 12
1 = _4_3 12

1 + 1 = _7_4 3 12
1 + 14 3=
_3_ + _4_ 12 12
=_7_ 12

Subtraction of Fractions: For any fractions a/b and c/d,
a _ c = ad _ bc = ad – bcb d bd bd bd

Using a Number Line:

Using Fraction Bars:
1_ 2
_1_ 6
_1_ 3
_1_ _1_ _2_ _1_ 2 6 6 3
_ = OR

_5_ 6
_1_ 4
This is what’s left over.
Subtracting Unlike Denominators:
_5_ _1_ 6 4
_ = ?

• 5 × 2 = 10 1 × 3 = 3 6 2 12 4 3 12
• 10 - 3 = 7 12 12 12
The smallest common denominator of ⅚ and ¼ is 12.

k × a = ka b b

Multiplication of a fraction and a whole number can be illustrated
in a couple of different ways.
