Adding and Subtracting Dissimilar Fractions

1. This document provides examples of how to add and subtract fractions with regrouping. It includes step-by-step worked examples of adding and subtracting fractions as well as converting fractions to similar fractions when needed. 2. Additional examples are given for solving word problems involving adding and subtracting fractions, including problems about quantities of food, lengths of materials, and time spent in the library. 3. Guidance is provided for changing fractions to similar fractions when adding or subtracting, which involves finding the least common denominator and converting the fractions to equivalent fractions with the common denominator before combining.

Adding and Subtracting Dissimilar Fractions

• Change the fractions to similar fractions.


– Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the
denominators, otherwise known as Least
Common Denominator (LCD).
– Find the equivalent fractions using the LCD.
• Add/Subtract the numerators of the similar
fractions, then write the sum over the LCD.
• Simplify the answer.
