Adding Like and Unlike Fractions | EasyTeaching

The video tutorial explains how to add fractions with the same denominator, known as like fractions, by simply adding the numerators. It then covers adding unlike fractions by converting them into like fractions using a common denominator. The tutorial distinguishes between related fractions, which have denominators that are multiples of each other, and unrelated fractions, which do not. For unrelated fractions, the lowest common multiple is used to find a common denominator. The video includes examples and practice problems to reinforce these concepts.
