Domain Number and Operations—Fractions

Cluster Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions.

Standard Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. <span class='clarification'>For example, $2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12$. (In general, $a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd$.)</span>
