Before you understand how to add like fractions you are advised to read What are Like Fractions ? When we have to add fractions with same denominators or to add like fractions, we simply add the numerators and denominator remains same. e.g. 2 3 + 5 3 In the given example the denominators of both the fraction are same i.e. 3, so we add the numerator and we get: 2 + 5 3 = 7 3 Following are some more examples of Addition of Fractions with Same Denominator or Addition of Like Fractions. Example 1 : Add the below given fractions 1 10 + 5 10 Answer = In the given fractions the denominators are same, so add the numerators and denominator remains same and we get: 1 + 5 10 = 6 10 Divide both numerator denominator by 2, to convert it into lowest form and we get: 3 5 Example 2 : Add the below given fractions 10 3 + 22 3 Answer = Given fractions are like fractions, so add the numerators and denominator remains same and we get: 10 + 22 3 = 32 3 Example 3 : Add the below fractions 2 101 + 4 101 Answer = In the given fractions the denominators are same, so add the numerators and denominator remains same and we get: 2 + 4 101 = 6 101 Example 4 : Add the below fractions 25 39 + 40 39 Answer = Given fractions are like fractions, so add the numerators and denominator remains same and we get: 25 + 40 39 = 65 39 Study More Solved Questions / Examples Tom and Robert bought pizza.
