Add and Subtract Like Fractions

To add (or subtract) like fractions, add (or subtract) the numerators, and put the result over the common denominator.

For example, let's find the sum:

6
12
+
4
12


Observe that the denominator is same in both the fractions.

So, add the numerators, and put the obtained result over the common denominator.

 

6
12
+
4
12
=
+ 4
12
=
10
12


Now, simplify:
 

10
12
=
10 ÷ 2
12 ÷ 2
=
5
6

 

So, 
6
12
+
4
12
=
5
6
