Name: _______________________________________
Section 1: Adding Fractions (Simplify if needed)
1.
\(\frac{1}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \)
\(\frac{3}{5}\)
2.
\(\frac{3}{8} + \frac{4}{8} = \)
\(\frac{7}{8}\)
3.
\(\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \)
\(\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}\)
4.
\(\frac{5}{12} + \frac{2}{12} = \)
\(\frac{7}{12}\)
5.
\(\frac{3}{10} + \frac{5}{10} = \)
\(\frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}\)
6.
\(\frac{2}{9} + \frac{4}{9} = \)
\(\frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3}\)
Section 2: Subtracting Fractions (Simplify if needed)
1.
\(\frac{7}{8} - \frac{2}{8} = \)
\(\frac{5}{8}\)
2.
\(\frac{9}{10} - \frac{6}{10} = \)
\(\frac{3}{10}\)
3.
\(\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \)
\(\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}\)
4.
\(\frac{11}{12} - \frac{4}{12} = \)
\(\frac{7}{12}\)
5.
\(\frac{4}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \)
\(\frac{3}{5}\)
6.
\(\frac{7}{9} - \frac{1}{9} = \)
\(\frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3}\)
Section 3: Mixed Practice
1.
\(\frac{1}{10} + \frac{8}{10} = \)
\(\frac{9}{10}\)
2.
\(\frac{15}{16} - \frac{7}{16} = \)
\(\frac{8}{16} = \frac{1}{2}\)
3.
\(\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \)
\(\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}\)
4.
\(\frac{3}{20} + \frac{7}{20} = \)
\(\frac{10}{20} = \frac{1}{2}\)
