Easily Add And Subtract Fractions

Tip #3:

Today’s Tutorial is how to easily add and subtract fractions.

First multiply the numerator of fraction 1 with the denominator of fraction 2. This is the first part of the new denominator. Then comes the operation. The second number in the new numerator is the numerator of the 2^nd fraction multiplied by the denominator of the first fraction. The denominator of the new fraction is just the product of the denominators. If you have more than 2 fractions, just do this in groups of 2. Perform the operation in the numerator, then reduce.

Btw, I’ll also be posting a practice worksheet that you can do. Check the answers on your calculators after you have done them. If you have any questions, email me at vedicmathforkids@gmail.com.
