Febuary 9, 2007 Friday Math
Today in math class we had a test on adding and subtracting fractions. At first I didn’t get it but when I had more practice I mastered it. This is an exsample of it….
5 1/2 + 6 1/2
step1: make equal denominators
1/2= 3/6
1/3= 2/6
Step2: 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
Step3:5+6=11+the 5/6
Now if you were subtracting you would have to borrow from the whole number.
