Volume 4 (released June 17, 2020) of the Utah Leads Together plan builds upon Volume 1, released March 24, 2020, and Volume 2, released April 17, 2020, and Volume 3 released on May 20, 2020. These volumes are not intended to replace one another, rather they are intended to support one another, like individual pieces of an overall strategy. To add the two given fractions, 3/4 and 5/8, we must first rewrite one or both of them so that they have a common denominator. To find this common denominator, we want the lowest common denominator (LCD) which will be the least common multiple of.

How to Add Fractions
Remember . . .
Here's a memory trick: the Denominator is the bottom, or Down number in a fraction -- and both Denominator and Down start with the letter D.
Adding Fractions with COMMON Denominators Adding fractions with COMMON denominators is simple. Just add the top numbers (the numerators) together, and place the resulting answer in the top of a fraction using the existing denominator for the bottom number. Then reduce the fraction, if possible Cookie 5 5 7 3.
Example 1: Simple fraction addition
+
=
No reduction is possible, so we have found the answer!Example 2: Reducing the fraction answer
+
=
Then reduce:
=
Example 3: Converting the answer to a mixed number
+
=
Then convert the improper fraction to a mixed number:
=
Creating Common Denominators How do we do that? Simple! Remember, if you multiply the top and bottom of a fraction by the same number, it doesn't affect the value of the fraction.
Blocs 3 0 7 – visual web design tool organizer. Example 1: If we have the fraction 2/3, we can multiply the top and bottom by 2, and not change its value:(2/2) x (2/3) = 4/6 Then if we reduce 4/6, we still get the original number, 2/3
Why does this work? Because any number divided by itself equals one. 2/2 = 1, 5/5 = 1, etc. And any number multiplied by 1 equals itself! The point is, you don't change the value of a fraction if you multiply its top and bottom numbers by the same number!
Adding Fractions with DIFFERENT denominators You can only add together fractions which have the same denominator, so you must first change one or both of the fractions so that you end up with two fractions having a common denominator. The easiest way to do this, is to simply select the opposite fraction's denominator to use as a top and bottom multiplier.
Example 1:Say you have the fractions 2/3 and 1/4 Select the denominator of the second fraction (4) and multiply the top and bottom of the first fraction (2/3) by that number:
x
=

Select the denominator of the first fraction (3) and multiply the top and bottom of the second fraction (1/4) by that number:
x
=
These two fractions (8/12 and 3/12) have common denominators - the number 12 on the bottom of the fraction.
Add these two new fractions together:
+
=
Example 2:
3 8 Vs 1 4
Say you have the fractions 3/5 and 2/7 Select the denominator of the second fraction (7) and multiply the top and bottom of the first fraction (3/5) by that number
x
=
Select the denominator of the first fraction (5) and multiply the top and bottom of the second fraction (2/7) by that number
x
=
These two fractions (21/35 and 10/35) have common denominators -- the number 35 on the bottom of the fraction.
We can now add these two fractions together, because they have common denominators:
