To add or subtract fractions with different denominators, find a common denominator—often the LCM of the denominators—then adjust each fraction accordingly. For example, with 1/3 and 1/4, the LCM is 12, so 1/3 = 4/12 and 1/4 = 3/12. Then 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12. Subtraction is similar but you subtract numerators. Maintaining a step-by-step method ensures consistent accuracy, essential in contexts like cooking measurements, scaling up recipe portions, or dividing shared resources equitably. Continuously practicing fraction addition and subtraction nurtures confidence in handling more complex rational expressions later.
