1 Adding and Subtracting Fractions

The document provides information on adding and subtracting simple fractions and mixed numbers. It begins with recalling definitions of terms like greatest common factor and least common multiple. It then provides example problems for adding fractions with regrouping and subtracting fractions with and without regrouping. The document emphasizes using the least common denominator to write equivalent fractions before adding or subtracting. It also notes that when subtracting, the difference of the numerators is written over the common denominator and the answer should be reduced to lowest terms. Practice problems and a drill are provided to allow working through examples.

Adding Simple Fractions
and Mixed Numbers
Problem 1
•   Mang Justo milked his two
carabaos. He got 3liters of milk
from one carabao and 4liters from
the other. How much milk did he
get in all?
Recall
Least Common Multiple (LCM)

1. Find the prime factorizations of each number.


– To find the prime factorization one method is a factor
tree where you begin with any to factors and proceed by
dividing the numbers until all the ends are prime factors.
2. Star factors which are shared.
3. Then multiply the un-starred factors of one
numbers by the other number. (This is the LCD)
Problem 2
•  
What if the next day, he
got 2 liters and 5 liters of
milk, how much milk did he
get in two days?
Practice I

•Solve
  the problem correctly.
2. Rey consumed 2 liters of white
paint and liters of red paint to repaint
the fence. How much paint
did he use altogether?
Generalization
How do we add dissimilar fractions with regrouping?

Adding dissimilar fractions with regrouping

To add dissimilar fractions with regrouping:


1. Use LCD to write equivalent fractions.
2. Add the fractions, then add the whole numbers.
3. When the fraction in the sum is an improper fraction,
change it to a mixed number.
4. Reduce the answer to lowest terms whenever possible

than Aries?
2. The dry ingredients for a pancake
recipe is 3 1/7 cups. If there are 2 ½
cups of flour, how many cups of other
ingredients are there?
How do we subtract dissimilar fractions with
or without regrouping?
Subtracting dissimilar fractions without regrouping

• Use LCD to write equivalent fractions. 


• Subtract the numerators.
• Write the difference over the common
denominator.
• Reduce the answer to lowest terms whenever
possible.
