You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When you add and subtract fractions
\n" ); document.write( "you follow the same process.
\n" ); document.write( "First you must find the LCD(least common denominator: the lowest number that both numbers can go into)
\n" ); document.write( "ex: 1/2-1/4=
\n" ); document.write( "you know that two can go into four twice
\n" ); document.write( "cause 2*2=4
\n" ); document.write( "so 1/4 is gonna stay as is.
\n" ); document.write( "2/4-1/4=
\n" ); document.write( "you multiply 2 to both the numerator and denominator
\n" ); document.write( "then you subtract the numerator
\n" ); document.write( "keep in mind that both denominators stay the same.
\n" ); document.write( "2/4-1/4=1/4
\n" ); document.write( "Good luck!
\n" ); document.write( "
