ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF FRACTION
If you can find a least common denominator, then you can rewrite the
problem using equivalent fractions that have like denominators, so they are
easy to add or subtract. Example 1:
Add: 5/12 + 2/15

In the previous example, we found that the least common denominator was 60. Write
each fraction as an equivalent fraction with the denominator 60. To do this, we
multiply both the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 5, and the
numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 4. (This is the same as
multiplying by 1=5/5 = 4/4, so it doesn't change the value.)
5/12 = 5/12⋅5/5 =25/60
2/15 = 2/15⋅4/4 = 8/60
5/12+2/15=25/60+8/60 =33/60
Note that this method may not always give the result in lowest terms. In
this case, we must simplify. =11/30
The same idea can be used when there are variables in the fractions—that is,
to add or subtract rational expressions.
Example 2:
Subtract. 1/2a−1/3b
The two expressions 2a and 3b have no common factors, so their least

common multiple is simply their product: 2a⋅3b=6ab.
Rewrite the two fractions with 6ab in the denominator.
1/2a⋅3b/3b = 3b/6ab
1/3b⋅2a/2a = 2a/6ab
Subtract.
1/2a−1/3b = 3b/6ab−2a/6ab

= 3b − 2a
6ab
Example 3:
If we want to add fractions, we must make sure that the fractions have
a common denominator or denominators that are the same. Let's assume
that Jeff is trying to solve the following problem:

We can see that the denominators are not the same: one fraction has a
denominator of 4 and the other has a denominator of 2. We need to find a
denominator that both 2 and 4 go into. In this case, Jeff would want to make
the denominator of each fraction 4.
Since 1/4 already has a denominator of 4, we will leave it as is. We will
need to change 1/2 so it has a denominator of 4. To change the denominator,
we need to determine how many times 2 (the existing denominator) goes into
4. The answer would be 2 (4 / 2). Therefore, we need to multiply both the
numerator and the denominator by 2.
Now we can add the fractions:
When the two fractions are added together, the answer is 3/4.
Example 4: Subtracting Fractions

Just like adding fractions, subtracting fractions requires that we find a
common denominator for the fractions. Let's look at the following example:
We can see that the denominators in each fraction are different, so we

must figure out the lowest number that each of the denominators will go into.
In this case, both 2 and 3 go into 6 evenly, so we will have to change each
fraction to have a denominator of 6.
Let's start with 1/2 first. We must determine what we need to multiply
2 by to get the new denominator of 6. In this case, we need to multiply the
numerator and the denominator by 3.
Now let's look at 1/3. This time, we need to determine what we need to
multiply the denominator of 3 by to turn it into 6. In this case, we need to
multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2.

Let's put it all together:
We can see that the answer is 1/6.
APPLICATION ON WORD PROBLEMS:
1. Martha grew her hair out for many years. Her hair was 1 1/3 meters.
She donated her hair by cutting off 5/6 meter. How long is Martha’s
hair now?
Solution: 1 1/3 – 5/6

▪ Change 1 1/3 to improper fraction: 4/3 – 5/6
▪ Get the LCD (least common denominator or change it to common
fractions
LCD is 6
= 8–5 = 3 meters
6 6
▪ Lowest term = ½ meters
2. Farmer Juan is painting 3 chicken coops. He started painting this

morning. Now he only has 1 ¾ chicken coop left to paint this afternoon.
How many chicken coops did Farmer Juan paint this morning?
Solution: 3 – 1 ¾
▪ Change 3 to fraction of 3/1
▪ Change 1 ¾ to improper fraction so you can easily subtract 7/4
=3 - 7 = LCD = 4
1 4
= 12 – 7 = 5 or 1 1/4 chicken coops Farmer Juan painted

4 4

the total weight of fish fed in a day is 1/ 2 of a ton, how much is fed
during the feeding at night?

1. Find a common multiple that will go into both denominators.
2. Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number
