Addition and Subtraction - Like Denominators

Like fractions – Fractions with the same denominator are called like fractions.
For example: 2/5 and 1/5 are like fractions as their denominator is same (that is 5)

To add/subtract two or more like fractions simply add/subtract their numerators to get the new numerator and the denominator remains the same

To add a whole number to a fraction, multiply and divide the whole number by some number such that its denominator becomes equal to the denominator of the fraction

A mixed number has two parts: the whole number part and the fraction part.
For example: In 3 7/12, 3 is the whole number part and 7/12 is the fraction part, having numerator 7 and denominator 12

To add two mixed numbers:
a) Simply add their whole number parts.
b) Then add their fraction parts.
For Example:
3 1/7 + 4 5/7 = 7 6/7
