Add and Subtract Fractions


Denominators must be the same before adding or subtracting.
Add or subtract only the numerator (top); the denominator (bottom) remains the same.
Always write answers in lowest term.

Directions: Add or subtract. Shade the box if the denominator is even. Show work for each problem.

The President of the United States must be at least this age.

President Ulysses Grant got a $20 speeding ticket in Washington, DC for driving his carriage too
fast. The officer was reluctant to write the ticket when he saw it was the president. President
Grant insisted he be given a ticket, because no citizen is above the law.
