The following picture was made from Add With Like Denominators:
The parts of an addition example are the first addend, the second addend, and the sum.
When the program starts, you will be asked to identify the first addend and then the second addend. The program will not continue unless each addend is correctly identified. You will then be asked to add each addend for the sum.
You can see from the picture that the first addend is 24/11 or 2 2/11 units in length ...

The following image was made from Add Unlike Fractions:
You will notice that the addends 4/5 and 1/2 have unlike denominators. You must first rename 4/5 and 1/2 with a like or common denominator(LCD). The program COMPARE FRACTIONS shows how to find the LCD. In this case, each addend is written with a common denominator 10.
Once each addend is written with like denominators the numerators may be added. The program ADD FRACTIONS - EASY shows how to add fractions with like denominators.
Written out, the example would look like this:
You may prefer to work vertically:
You may enter the sum in fraction or mixed number form. In the above example, both 13/10 or 1 3/10 are acceptable.

When Compare Fractions starts, you will be given two fractions to compare as in the example below:
You are to choose which of the two fractions is the larger.
Keep this in mind as you make your choice - the larger the numerator the larger the fraction and the larger the denominator the smaller the fraction. If the denominators are the same, the fraction with the larger numerator is larger and if the numerators are the same, the fraction with the larger denominator is ...

The following image was made from Divide Fractions-Strict:
Divide Fractions-Strict is similar to the previous program DIVIDE FRACTIONS except that the divisor may be larger than the dividend and the quotient may be a mixed number.
You can see from the image that 1 1/9 of the divisor will fit into the dividend. To see how this happens, think of 1 2/3 as 10/6 and 1 1/2 as 9/6. The numerator of the divisor 9 will fit 1 1/9 times into the numerator of the dividend 10.
