Practice Adding Fractions with Like Denominators in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

Adding fractions that share the same denominator by adding the numerators and keeping the denominator.

If you have \frac{2}{5} of a pie and get \frac{1}{5} more, you now have \frac{3}{5}β€”same size pieces, just count them up.

Example 1

easy
Add \frac{3}{8} + \frac{4}{8}.

Example 2

medium
Add \frac{5}{9} + \frac{7}{9} and simplify fully.

Example 3

easy
A jug contains \frac{2}{7} litre of water. You pour in another \frac{3}{7} litre. How much water is in the jug?

Example 4

medium
Compute \frac{4}{11} + \frac{5}{11} + \frac{6}{11} and simplify.
