Please answer the following essay question:

Explain why we need to have a common denominator in order to add or subtract fractions.

Answer in paragraph form using complete sentences and include any calculations, graphs, and labeled diagrams as appropriate.

Respuesta :

The reason fractions need a common denominator before adding or subtracting is so that the numbers of pieces you are adding/subtracting are all the same size. Note that the numerator of a fraction just tells you how many pieces you have of that size.
