Example 1: Find the proper fraction addition of 3/5 + 1/5.
Solution: Both fractions have like denominators. i.e 5
Add both fractions i.e 3/5 + 1/5 = 4/5
Proper fraction addition of
3/5 + 1/5 = 4/5.
Example 2: Find the proper fraction addition of 10/12 + 3/9.
Solution: Both fractions have unlike denominators, make the denominator same by finding LCM of denominators. i.e 30/36 and 12/36
Add both fractions i.e 30/36 + 12/36 = 7/6
Proper fraction addition of
10/12 + 3/9 = 7/6.
Example 3: Find the proper fraction addition of 2/11 + 4/6.
Solution: Both fractions have unlike denominators, make the denominator same by finding LCM of denominators. i.e 12/66 and 44/66
Add both fractions i.e 12/66 + 44/66 = 28/33
Proper fraction addition of
2/11 + 4/6 = 28/33.
Example 4: Find the proper fraction addition of 8/16 + 4/32.
Solution: Both fractions have unlike denominators, make the denominator same by finding LCM of denominators. i.e 16/32 and 4/32
Add both fractions i.e 16/32 + 4/32 = 5/8
Proper fraction addition of
8/16 + 4/32 = 5/8.
Example 5: Find the proper fraction addition of 7/10 + 8/12.
Solution: Both fractions have unlike denominators, make the denominator same by finding LCM of denominators. i.e 42/60 and 40/60
Add both fractions i.e 42/60 + 40/60 = 41/30
Proper fraction addition of
7/10 + 8/12 = 41/30.
