    diyahandryani
    This document provides instructions for adding and subtracting fractions. It introduces the butterfly method as a shortcut for combining fractions with unlike denominators. The steps are to: 1) Draw the wings of the butterfly with the fractions written above and below, 2) Multiply the denominators to get the common denominator, 3) Compute the new numerators using the signs, 4) Simplify the resulting fraction. It also reviews how to multiply and divide fractions, including changing mixed numbers to improper fractions first if needed.

    The
    ‘Butterfly’ Method
    The “Butterfly” is a short-cut method used for
    adding & subtracting any two fractions. The usual
    method is called finding a “Common
    Denominator”
