Integers and fractions don't mix

This video tutorial explains how to add a whole number to a fraction by converting the whole number into a fraction with a denominator of one. It emphasizes the importance of having the same denominator when adding or subtracting fractions and demonstrates how to find the least common denominator. The tutorial also covers the concept of equivalent fractions and how to apply operations to numerators while keeping denominators unchanged.

What is the first step in adding a whole number to a fraction?

• Multiply the whole number by the fraction

• Convert the whole number to a decimal

• Rewrite the whole number as a fraction over one

• Subtract the whole number from the fraction

Why is it important to have the same denominator when adding fractions?

• To convert fractions to whole numbers

• To apply the operation only to the numerators

• To ensure the numerators are equal

• To simplify the fractions

What is the least common denominator (LCD) of 1 and 3?

• 9

• 6

• 3

• 1

How do you create equivalent fractions?

• By dividing the numerator by the denominator

• By subtracting the same number from both the numerator and denominator

• By adding the same number to both the numerator and denominator

• By multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the same number

What should you do after ensuring the denominators are the same when adding fractions?

• Add the denominators together

• Multiply the fractions

• Apply the operation to the numerators and keep the denominator

• Subtract the numerators
