add fractions

There are 3 simple steps to add fractions 

Step 1. Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are 
the same 
Step 2. Add the top numbers (the numerators). Put the 
answer over the the same denominator as in step 1 
Step 3. Simplify the fraction. 


Example 1: 


    1     1 
   --- + ---
    4     4 

Step 1. The bottom numbers are already the same. Go straight 
to step 2. 
Step 2. Subtract the top numbers and put the answer over the 
same denominator: 

   1     1     1 + 1     2 
  --- + --- = ------- = ---
   4     4       4       4 

Step 3. Simplify the fraction: 

   2     1 
  --- = ---
   4     2 


Example 2:


   1      1 
  --- + -----
   2     10 

Step 1. The bottom numbers are now different. We need to make 
them the same. 

 
   1      5 
  --- = -----
   2     10 
 

Step 2. Subtract the top numbers and put them over the 
same denominator:

     5      1     5 + 1      6 
   ---- + ---- = ------- = -----
    10     10      10       10 

Step 3. Simplify the fraction: 

    6     3 
  ---- = ---
   10     5
