Class 5 - Addition of Fractions

The document discusses the addition of fractions with the same denominator. It states that when adding fractions with the same denominator, such as a/b + c/b, the denominator remains the same and the numerators are added. So the sum is (a + c)/b. Several examples are provided to illustrate this, such as 3/2 + 5/2 = 8/2 = 4. Practice problems are then provided for the reader to work through.

Addition of fractions

For the addition of fractions, we will consider two cases

CASE 1. Two fractions with the same denominator


Consider the following operation.

𝒂 𝒄
+
𝒃 𝒃
Where 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐 are integers. The result will be a
fraction such that the denominator is 𝑏, and the
numerator is the result of the addition of 𝑎 and 𝑐.

𝒂 𝒄 𝒂+𝒄
+ =
𝒃 𝒃 𝒃
For example!

3 5 3+5 7
+ = =
2 2 2 2

6 3 6+3 9
+ = = =1
9 9 9 9
