- Addition fractions with unlike denominators, find the LCD by listing the multiple of each denominator.
- If the denominator (bottom number is changed, the numerator must also be changed by the same number.

Example: 1 5/6 / 3/4=
1 5/6 / 3/4= 2 4/9
- Change the mixed number into an improper fraction: 1 5/6= 11/6
- (6x1+5=11)
- Inverse the second fraction: 3/4 to 4/3
- Multiply the 11/6 x 4/3= 44/18
