Equivalent fractions represent the same amount. Multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number. To add fractions, first make their denominators equal.
Worked example: Add 2/3 and 1/6.
Use the common denominator 6.
2/3 = 4/6 because both numerator and denominator are multiplied by 2.
4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6. Add the numerators, keeping the common denominator.
