Non-Like Denominator Fractional Computations

Mathematics & Quantitative Reasoning

Your child can add and subtract fractions that possess different bottom numbers by identifying a common denominator first (e.g., computing 1/2 + 1/3).

In real life

Combining leftover ingredients, your child figures out that half a bag of rice plus a third of a bag makes five-sixths of a bag: enough for tonight's dinner, but not tomorrow's too.
