Question

adding fractions - fraction circles
$\frac{1}{4}$ + $\frac{2}{4}$ = $square$
$\frac{2}{4}$ + $\frac{2}{4}$ = $square$

Explanation:

First Problem ($\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{4}}$):

Step1: Add the numerators (denominators are same)

Since the denominators of the two fractions are both 4, we add the numerators: $1 + 3 = 4$. So the fraction becomes $\frac{4}{4}$.

Step2: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{4}{4}$ simplifies to 1 (because a fraction with numerator equal to denominator is 1).

Step1: Add the numerators (denominators are same)

The denominators are both 4, so add the numerators: $2 + 2 = 4$. The fraction is $\frac{4}{4}$.

Step2: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{4}{4}$ simplifies to 1.

Answer:

1

Second Problem ($\boldsymbol{\frac{2}{4} + \frac{2}{4}}$):
