11-2Adding Fractions with Unlike DenominatorsWhen you add fractions with unlike denominators, you need to change the fractions to equivalent fractions so they have a common denominator.

Example 1 Hassan used 1 _ 4 of a bag of black potting soil and 2 _ 3 of a bag of soil with clay in his container garden. How much soil did he use altogether? Find 1 _ 4 ! 2 _ 3 .

Step 1 Rewrite the fractions using a Step 2 Add the new fractions.common denominator. Think: What Write the sum in simplest form.number has 4 and 3 as factors? 12

Hassan used 11 __ 12 of a bag of soil altogether.

Example 2 When one denominator is a factor of the other denominator, you have to rewrite only one of the fractions. Find 2 _ 3 ! 2 _ 9 .

Step 1 3 is a factor of 9, so rewrite Step 2 Add the new fractions. 2 _ 3 with a denominator of 9.

Write the answers in simplest form.
