So the question is 1/2+1/2 = 2/2, but that isn't good enough because you have to always simplify when it can be simplified. So its 1/1 then 1 whole. First you always check for common denominators. If your fractions have the same denominator you leave them the same and just add the numerators.

The question was 3/4 - 1/4=2/4=1/2. ( make sure you don't forget to simplify.) First you check for common denominators. In this question they are the same so just take away the two numerators.

2/3+4/5= 6/7+2/8= 2/3-1/3= 4/5- 2/5=

1. the common denominator is 15. So whatever you did to get 15 u do to the numerators. So 2x5=10 so its 10/3, then 4x3= 12 so its 12/5. So 10+12 = 22 and the denominators stay at 15. Its 22/15. Now you have to simplify it to 1 whole and 7/15.
Since I already told you how to do this I'm just gonna give you the answers now.
