Fractions

Why are fractions so hard to add, subtract, multiply and divide?

  1. Fractions are not that hard to add. all you have to do is add the numerators, but if it has unlike denominators then you have to find their common denominator. Subtracting fractions are the same. except you subtract the numerators and the denominators, and again if you have unlike denominators then you find the common denominator. When multiply you have to multiply the numerator and numerator, and denominator x denominator. When dividing I think you have to divide numerator/numerator. and divide denominator divided by denominator.

  2. actually it is much easier to change the division to multiplication and get he reciprocal (flip) of the second fraction. Then do what you normally do when multiplying. Change any mixed numbers to improper fractions before you start though

  3. because they all don't use the same rule.
    I personally don't think it is hard to do.

  5. Adding and subtracting fractions are hard to solve because because the denominator is never the same so you have to find the common denominator. Adding and subtracting fractions is also hard because i have trouble reducing it.

  8. fractions are hard to add, subtract, multiply and divide because they have different rules. Also they are hard when they have different denominators.

  11. Fractions are not that hard ro solve ! It is kind of hard to add them because you have to know how to multiply and know how to reduce.

  12. Multiplying mixed numbers are hard to me because you have to change
    your number to an improper fractions.
