If I have 2/8 how can I make it ?

Lets go back to 2/4 and try to make it become 6/12?

Lets try to add and subtract some fractions!

Examples

1
5

2 + 5

3 5

7 12

5 1 = 6 12

4 1 5 + = 7 7 7

LETS TRY ADDING AND SUBTRACTING WITH DIFFERENT DENOMINATORS!

We need a common denominator to add these fractions.
