Key idea: Adding and subtracting unlike fractions

Step 1: find the **LCM of the denominators**. Step 2: convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with that LCM as the new denominator. Step 3: now the fractions are 'like' — add or subtract numerators, keep denominator.

Example: 1/3 + 1/4. LCM of 3 and 4 is 12. Convert: 1/3 = 4/12, 1/4 = 3/12. Add: 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12.

The whole job is converting once you've picked the right common denominator.
