Work Step by Step
Step 1: Add the numerators to find the numerator of the sum.
Step 2: Write the denominator of the like fractions as the denominator of the sum.
Step 3: Write the sum in lowest terms.
In example: $\frac{1}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = ? $
Step 1: $ 1 + 3 = 4$.
Step 2: $ \frac{ 1 + 3 }{6} = \frac{4}{6} $.
Step 3: $ \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$.
