Instructions:
Many situations that occur in our daily lives can be expressed using fractions. People may say that they are half done with a project or that they have one third of a project to do. When working with fractions that have different denominators, like one half and one third, it is sometimes necessary to express these fractions with like denominators. For example, if you need to add or subtract fractions with different denominators, you must first rewrite the fractions so that they have a common denominator.
This application will illustrate the addition and subtraction of fractions that have different denominators. Enter a fractional amount for each day to see the results. Click on the "play" button to enter values. Be sure to hit the "enter" key after entering your final value. Also, be sure to read each question carefully and answer the question asked.
