Adding fractions with different denominators always starts with converting: re-cut both bars into the same number of parts. Then merge: join the shaded amounts onto one bar and count. Finally, check whether the answer can be simplified. Follow steps ① ② ③ and unlike-fraction addition becomes easy!
Tap “Convert” to re-cut both bars into equal parts, “Merge” to join the shaded amounts, then self-check the total and simplify the answer.
