5.2 Adding and Subtracting Mixed Numbers • Adding and Subtracting Mixed Numbers • 1. Find the LCD of the fractions, if necessary. • 2. Rename the fractions, if necessary. Then add or subtract the fractions. • 3. Add or subtract the whole numbers. • 4. Simplify if possible.
Example 1: Adding with a common Denominator • Find the sum of 48 1/3 and 41 1/3
Example 2: Subtracting With a Common Denominator • Find the different of 6 7/9 and 4 1/9
Your Turn!! • Add or subtract. Simplify if possible. • 1. 3 1/8 + 2 5/8 • 2. 7 1/5 + 1 2/5 • 3. 8 5/7-4 1/7 • 4. 12 5/6 – 9 5/6
Example 3: Adding with Different Denominators • 4 5/6 + 3 3/4
Example 4: Renaming to Subtract Mixed Numbers • 6 1/6 – 3 2/3
And Another… • 6 – 1 1/3
Your Turn!!! • 7 1/4 + 3 ½ • 1 ¾ + 4 3/8 • 8 – 5 1/8 • 8 1/6- 6 ¾
