step 1.  Make sure the bottom number ( the denominator ) are the same .
step 2. add the top number ( the numerator ) put the answer over the denominator .
step3. simplify  the fraction ( if needed ) .



Example 1.
   
                                       1/4 + 1/4= 2/4= 1/2


Example 2.

Fiolo's Fraction Scribe Post

Rules in multiplying Fraction:
There are 3 simple steps to multiply fractions.
1. Multiply the top numbers (numerators).
2. Multiply the bottom numbers (denominator).
3. Simplify the fractions if needed.

Example:

1	×	2
2		5

Step 1: Multiply top numbers. 

Step 2: Multiply bottom numbers.

Step 3: Simplify the fraction.








Multiplying fraction with whole numbers.

2	×	5
3

Make 5 into ⁵/₁ :

2	×	5
3		1

Now just proceed as normal.

Multiply tops and bottoms:

2	×	5	=	2 × 5	=	10
3		1		3 × 1		3

The fraction is already as simple as it can be.

Answer =	10
	3

or 3 1/3

Make your number line and multiply the numbers you have and start to jump (whatever you want to call it)  if your question is 3 x 1/2 then you jump three 1/2... 

    For addition you take the fraction  (for example you have 6 x 1/2) you write 1/2 + 1/2 +  1/2 + 1/2...............
