Art Studio Fractions: Mixing Paint and Clay

Rename fractions with a common denominator to add and subtract.

Part 1: Same-size pieces

Rename the fractions so they have the same denominator. Then add or subtract.

1.
Ava mixes 2/3 cup of blue paint with 1/5 cup of white paint. Use fifteenths to find how much paint she mixes.

2/3 + 1/5 =  /15 +  /15 =  /15 cup

2.
Rename both fractions as twelfths. Then subtract.

3/4 − 1/6 =  /12 −  /12 =  /12

3.
Which shows 3/8 + 1/6 rewritten correctly with a common denominator?
  • A. 3/14 + 1/14
  • B. 3/24 + 1/24
  • C. 9/24 + 4/24
  • D. 9/24 + 6/24
