This is how to add

Step 1Our denominators (bottom numbers) don't match, so we can't add yet. 3 goes into 1 evenly, so we only need to multiply one term to get a common denominator. Multiply 91 by 3, and get 273, then we multiply 1 by 3 and get 3. This gives us a new problem that looks like so:

Step 2Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. 273 + 2 = 275 That gives us an answer of
|
|||||||||||
Step 3Can this fraction be reduced? First, we attempt to divide it by 2... Nope. Try the next prime number, 3... Nope. Try the next prime number, 5... No good. 5 is larger than 3. So we're done reducing. Congratulations! Here's your final answer to 91/1 + 2/3
