Lesson: Basic Arithmetic - 14

Adding And Subtracting Fractions

Addition and subtraction on the fractions are most widely used arithmetic operations on the tests. A test taker must be fluent in doing these operations. It is very common that most of the test takers spend a lot of time in doing such simple calculations. In this way they gets time pressure on the test. Here in this section you'll learn and apply operations to become expert on fraction calculations.

To add or subtract fractions, you need a "common denominator." When you add or subtract, you do so to the numerators, NOT the denominators:

Adding and subtracting fractions when you have a common denominator is easy enough. You simply add or subtract the numerators. The denominator remains the same.

The Math Fundamentals is a kick starter for all those who have just started considering a test as an option to pursue their higher degree program. It is an essential first step for those who haven't been in touch with basic Arithmetic for a long time and are still looking out for a test Preparation Course. It covers very basic fundamental concepts of Mathematics tested on the test such as Number Properties, Rules of Exponents & others.For those who haven't been in touch with the math basics, this is going to help them revisit all the jargon's necessary to be known to score good on the test's quant section.
