Adding fractions with different denominators Since the denominators are different, we need to find a common denominator before we can add. The LCD of 3 and 4 is 12. 2 3 8 12 = 3 4 + 9 12 =
Now, we can add the two fractions with common denominators 17 12 5 12 1 = 2 3 8 12 = 3 4 + 9 12 =
Example 1 • Think: How would you add ? • Pair: Find a partner and tell them the strategy you would use. • Share: Share with the class what you discussed.
