Adding Tenths and Hundredths by Creating Equivalent Fractions

The video tutorial explains how to correctly add fractions with different denominators by creating equivalent fractions. It begins by illustrating the incorrect method of adding numerators and denominators directly. The tutorial then demonstrates how to create common denominators using visual models and numerical methods. It provides example problems to reinforce the concept of finding equivalent fractions and adding them correctly.

Explain why you cannot simply add the numerators and denominators of fractions with different denominators.
