Lesson 38 - Adding and Subtracting Dissimilar Fractions

To add or subtract dissimilar fractions: 1. Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the fractions to make them similar. 2. Use the LCM to change the fractions so they have a common denominator. 3. Add or subtract the new fractions. 4. Simplify the final answer if possible by reducing to lowest terms. The document provides examples of adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. It explains finding the LCM to change the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator before performing the operations. Students are given practice problems and assessments to reinforce the skills.
