    In this lesson, we will learn the very important skill of adding fractions. In this case, we will add fractions that have unlike denominators, which means that the bottom numbers of the fractions are not the same. In order to add fractions, the denominator of both fractions must equal the same number. In these problems, the first step is to change the fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number with the goal of expressing both fractions in terms of the same denominator. Then, we add the fractions as usual and simplify the result. Here we use fraction models to understand what it means to find a common denominator and to fully understand what it means to add fractions together.

    At 50 years old, I decided to take an IT course and because I don't have a college education, I need to take a basic skills assessment. To my dismay, I've learned it will include fractions and decimals! I haven't done math with fractions or decimals in ages! Thank you so much for making this as simple as possible!

    Although I don't need this kind of lessons myself, I strongly believe that your tutorials/instructional videos will make it into history. Your approach and ease of passing information to the viewer are highly valuable. I reckon that many people without access to quality education will grow to become better people (or engineers) with your help. Whoever's got some math or physics deficiencies, I recommend them your channel and the website. Please keep up the excellent work.
    By the way, thank you for the series on Laplace Transform.

    *note: 6/9 is odd and even, but can still be simplified to 2/3. So when it is said that you can not simplify any further because one number is odd and the other is even, that might be a little confusing!

    Wonderful amazing great video!!! I was very disappointed because I did not think in your first explanation what the problem, when converted, would look like in tenths! I thought I was going to have to visualize and conceptualize the changed fractions myself!!! AND, I really, really wanted to see what was really going on after you converted the original fraction! BUT, you HAVE Shown what really happens after you change the denominators (to all tenths)! SO, a BIG, THANK YOU, from me to you!!! And, it's actually more of a reason than what they look like.

    I noticed that the common denominator is usually the larger denominator of the two fractions within the problem. And multiplying the smaller denominator of the two fractions by a number that makes it equivalent to the larger denominator to find the common, add, then simplify.

    Usually, teachers will explain how to do the solutions but not answer WHY we did the solution. I am trying to have a good grip on Math and Chemistry fundamentals. I will be a college student soon, it embarrasses me that I am slow in both subjects, and I even chose a STEM course. I am afraid to be a laughing stock in college and decided to learn these things. Thank you so much.
    I am not excellent in math or science, but if I could learn English and Art on my own, maybe there is hope for me.

    I think LCM and LCD are the same except that LCM is more generally used and LCD is used with fractions, while adding fractions.
    Kids would have enjoyed your lesson, adding fractions. Even the adults could if they haven't done it earlier as I did it once.
    A story is to motivate
    A lesson is to teach
    An example is to inspire
    Time is to test.

      @@mathsandsciencechannel I think of some shortcut methods to find LCD:
      1. If the denominators of fractions are primes,just multiply them to get LCD.
      2. If one denominator is divisible by another evenly,then dividend is the LCD.
      3. List some multiples of larger denominator,divide those by another,the first multiple that divides enenly is the LCD.

    • @MathAndScience
      @MathAndScience  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, it is correct in that it gives the correct addition of the fractions. However, you will probably get points taken off for not simplifying to lowest terms. So, it is mathematically correct but we always want to simplify when we can.
