To add fractions, there are three simple steps :
⓵ Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same!
1 ⅐ = 8/7
6 8
—— + —— ⇨ same denominator
7 7
⓶ Add the top numbers (the numerators), put that answer over the denominator.
6 + 8 = 14
14
——
7
⓷ Simplify the fraction (if needed).
14 ÷ 7 = 2
↳ 6 1 14
—— + 1 —— = —— = 2
7 7 7
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there’s anything just let me know! ☻
