This presentation teaches how to perform basic fraction operations: - Adding fractions requires having a common denominator - Subtracting and multiplying fractions also require a common denominator and use similar processes as addition and multiplication of whole numbers - Dividing fractions involves flipping the second fraction and turning division into multiplication - To get a common denominator when adding or subtracting, multiply the denominators and adjust the numerators proportionately

7. Subtracting fractions To subtract fractions the denominator (the bottom bit) must be the same. Example
