\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3%2B5%2F2\"$ ...to add these two fractions you need first to find common denominator; if denominators are $\"3\"$ and $\"2\"$ , common denominator will be $\"3%2A2=6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, multiply by $\"2\"$ numerator and denominator of the first fraction, and multiply by $\"3\"$ numerator and denominator of the second fraction\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2F6%2B15%2F6\"$ ...now add numerators and you have\r
