By Katie St.OngeWARNING: please refrain from jumping and screaming during the show. Trust me I know how tempting it is!

1. Make sure the bottom number (denominators) are the same.

2. Add the top numbers (the numerators) and put them on the denominator.

3. Simplify the fraction (if needed.)

For Example: ¾ + 6/10 = ?Follow the easy steps to get the answer of

54/40Or to simplify it make it 1 14/40

1. Make sure the bottom numbers or denominators are the same.

2. Subtract the top numbers or numerators and put it over the denominator.

3. Simplify the problem.

For example: ¾ - ½ = ?Follow the easy steps to get the answer of

¼.4 x 2 = 8 (3x2=6) (1x4=4) 6-4=2 2/8 = ¼

(simplified)

1. Multiply the top numbers 2. Multiply the bottom numbers3. Simplify the problemFor Example: ½ x 2/5 = ?Follow the easy steps to get the

answer of 2/101x2=2 2/? 2x5=10 2/10
