Fractions

Fraction is FUN when you know some thumb rules! 

It is easier to handle the equation when the denominators are the same.

Example: 

1	+	1
3		6

The bottom numbers are different. See how the slices are different sizes?

1/3	+	1/6	=	?

Now the fractions have the same bottom number ("6"), and our question looks like this:

¹/₃=  ²/₆

Now that the denominator is the same, we can add the portions together!  

2/6	+	1/6	=	3/6

Do simplify the fraction when you are done with the equation:

3	=	1
6		2

In picture form the whole answer looks like this:

2/6	+	1/6	=	3/6	=	1/2

So now
