Adding Subtracting Multiplying and Dividing Fractions Flash Cards

Step 1 Make sure your denominators are the same

Step 2 Add your numerators and put your numbers over the denominator

Step 3 Reduce (Simplify your fraction if possible

Step 1 Make sure your denominators are the same, If not find a common denominator

Step 2 Subtract your top numbers and put them over denominator

Step 3 Reduce if possible

• When multiplying fractions just simply multiply straight across and reduce if possible
• Example: 2/3 x 2/5= 4/15

Step 1 Flip the second fraction for example 1/2 will become 2/1

Step 2 Multiply the fraction by the reciprocal (fraction you just flipped)

Step 3 Reduce if possible

NO. We need to find a common denominator which would be 4! So we would find out how many times two goes into 4 and what you do to the bottom you must do to the top.

YES, When multiplying we multiply STRAIGHT ACROSS and leave it as is!

YES, We have flipped our reciprocal and multiplied straight across and out fraction is reduced to it's lowest terms

YES, Because I already have two common denominators there for I do not have to find one. Now if I have 1/2-1/6 then I would have to find a common denominator and then subtract and reduce if needed.
