Here is you're answer:

One of the most simple rules when solving fractions is to "find the common denominator."

Example:

  • [tex]\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} =[/tex]
  • Find the common denominator:
  • Common denominator is 2:
  • [tex]1 +1=2[/tex]
  • [tex]= \frac{2}{2} = 2[/tex]

So, in order to solve fractions you first have to find the common denominator of each fraction, then you have to add or subtract the numerators to equal you're answer.
