Unlike Fractions
If denominators are different in the given fractions, those fractions are called unlike fractions.
When adding or subtracting proper fractions, we need to look at the denominators.
Case 1:
If denominators are like fractions, we need to add or subtract the numerator.
Case 2:
If denominators are unlike fractions, we first need to find the L.C.M and then add or subtract the numerator.
