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.
