Adding or subtracting fractions with the
same denominator:
– Add or subtract the numerators and keep
the same denominators
– Reduce if necessary
– Examples: 7/10 - 3/10
11/y + (-5/y)

2 1/2 + 1 3/4 = 4 1/4
1 1/2 - 2 5/8 = 1 ½
1 ½ - 2 4/5 = -1 3/10
3 2/9 – 5 2/3 = -2 2/9
5-4 Multiplying and Dividing
Fractions
Multiplying Fractions = multiply straight
across -- multiply the numerators
together and multiply the denominators
together
Simplify before multiplying if possible
Change any mixed numbers to improper
fractions before multiplying!!!
Reduce if necessary
Examples
3/7 x 4/5
9/15 x -(5/9)
y/4 x 8/11
-(5/15) x 21/25
-1 2/5 * 2 2/7
Examples - Answers
3/7 x 4/5 = 12/35
9/15 x -(5/9) = - 1/3
y/4 x 8/11 = 2y/11
-(5/15) x 21/25 = - 7/25
-1 2/5 * -2 2/7 = 3 1/5
Dividing Fractions
To divide fractions = keep the 1st fraction the
same, change the division sign to a
multiplication sign, flip the 2nd fraction, and
multiply across
Reciprocal
To divide mixed numbers = change all mixed
numbers to improper fractions, then follow the
same rules as when dividing fractions
Examples
2/9 ÷ 2/5
x/3 ÷ x/4
1 3/4 ÷ (-2 5/8)
1 4/5 ÷ -1 ½
Examples
2/9 ÷ 2/5 = 2/9 x 5/2 = 10/18 = 5/9
x/3 ÷ x/4 = 1 1/3
1 3/4 ÷ (-2 5/8) = -2/3
1 4/5 ÷ -1 ½ = -1 1/5
5-7 Solving Equations by Adding
or Subtracting Fractions
You solve equations with fractions the same
way you solve equations with integers and
decimals by doing the opposite operation you
already have.
Example:
1/4 + n = 1/3
-1/4
-1/4
n = 1/3 - 1/4
4/12 - 3/12
n = 1/12
Examples
y + 8/9 = 5/9
2/3 = x + 3/5
C + 3/10 = 11/15
6/7 = x - 2/7
3 7/18 = a + 1 1/3
Y + 4 7/8 = 2
A - 2 1/12 = 3 1/12
Examples - Answers
y + 8/9 = 5/9
2/3 = x + 3/5
C + 3/10 = 11/15
6/7 = x - 2/7
3 7/18 = a + 1 1/3
Y + 4 7/8 = 2
A - 2 1/12 = 3 1/12
y = -1/3
x = 1/15
c = 13/30
x = 1 1/7
a = 2 1/18
y = -2 7/8
a = 5 1/6
5-8 Solving Equations by
Multiplying Fractions
You can undo multiplication by dividing
each side of an equation by the same
number.
You can also multiply each side of an
equation by the reciprocal to undo
multiplication.
Multiplying by a reciprocal
You can get a variable by itself by
multiplying by a reciprocal
Example:
5a = 1/7
Multiplying by a reciprocal Answers
You can get a variable by itself by
multiplying by a reciprocal
Example:
5a = 1/7
(1/5) 5a = (1/5) (1/7)
a = 1/35
Multiplying by the negative
reciprocal
Example:
-(14/25)k = 8/15
Try these:
-(6/7)r = (3/4)
-(10/13)b = -(2/3)
Multiplying by the negative
reciprocal - Answers
Example:
-(14/25)k = 8/15
(-25/14)(-14/25)k = (8/15)(-25/14)
k = -20/21
Try these:
-(6/7)r = (3/4)
r = -7/8
-(10/13)b = -(2/3) b = 13/15
