When we are adding or subtracting fractions it is easy when the whole is divided into the same number of parts. The example below has both wholes broken into 6 even parts.
5
BUT...when we are adding or subtracting fractions it becomes more complicated when the whole is divided into a different number of even parts. The example below has one divided into 2 even pieces and the other into 4.
Continued on next slide
