WHAT’S NEW
Mother brought home a buko pie
as pasalubong for Tonyo and
Maria. She cut it into 8. Tonyo
ate 3 slices of buko pie while
Maria ate 2 slices. What is the
total fractional part of the buko
pie Tonyo and Maria ate?
Guide Questions
1. What fractional part did Tonyo eat?

2. What fractional part did Maria eat?

3. What is asked in the problem?


In the problem,
To know the total
fractional part of the buko
Tonyo ate of the
pie that Tonyo and Maria
buko
ate, pie,
we need while
to add and .
To find the sum of and ,
Maria ate of the
consider the following
models onpie.
the next slide.
As shown in the number line the
sum is
Another way of adding
and is by constructing figures that
represent the fractions.
Transfer the shaded portion of the
second figure to the first.

Therefore, the sum of and is .


Here’s another way of solving the problem.

Since and are similar fractions (fractions with the


same denominator), simply add the numerators
and copy the common denominator.

𝟑 𝟐 𝟑+𝟐 𝟓
+ = =
𝟖 𝟖 𝟖 𝟖
More Examples
𝟏 𝟑 𝟐 𝟏+𝟑+𝟐
+ + =? =¿
𝟗 𝟗 𝟗 𝟗
𝟔 𝟐
=¿
𝟗 𝟑
More Examples
𝟓 𝟏𝟎 𝟔 𝟓+𝟏𝟎 +𝟔
+ + =? =¿
𝟐𝟎 𝟐𝟎 𝟐𝟎 𝟐𝟎
𝟐𝟏 𝟏
=¿ 𝟏
𝟐𝟎 𝟐𝟎
You could also find the difference of two similar
fraction following the same steps. Simply,
subtract the numerator and copy the common
denominator. Always express the answer in lowest
term.

𝟏𝟎 𝟔 𝟏𝟎− 𝟔 𝟒 𝟐
− =¿ =¿ =¿
𝟏𝟒 𝟏𝟒 𝟏𝟒 𝟏𝟒 𝟕
More Examples
𝟑𝟔 𝟏𝟏 𝟑𝟔 − 𝟏𝟏
− =? =¿
𝟐𝟏 𝟐𝟏 𝟐𝟏
𝟐𝟓 𝟒
=¿ 𝟏
𝟐𝟏 𝟐𝟏
You could also add or subtract mixed
fractions. Mixed fractions consist of a whole
number and a fraction like and . How will
you add or subtract mixed fractions? We
first add or subtract the whole number part
first, then the fractional part.
Example #1
𝟏 𝟐 𝟏 𝟐 𝟑
𝟓 +𝟐 =¿ ( 𝟓+𝟐 ) + + =¿ 7
𝟒 𝟒 𝟒 𝟒 𝟒

𝟑
( 𝟕) + =¿
𝟒
Example #2
𝟓 𝟒 𝟓 𝟒 𝟐
𝟖 +𝟏𝟏 =¿(𝟖+𝟏𝟏)+( + )=¿ 𝟐𝟎
𝟕 𝟕 𝟕 𝟕 𝟕

𝟏𝟗+¿ 𝟗
𝟕
𝟐
=¿𝟏 =¿
𝟕
Example #3
𝟒 𝟏 𝟒 𝟏 𝟑
𝟕 −𝟒 =¿( 𝟕 −𝟒 )+( − )=¿3
𝟓 𝟓 𝟓 𝟓 𝟓

𝟑
( 𝟑 ) +( )=¿
𝟓
Example #4
𝟏 𝟑 Observe that you cannot subtract
𝟗 −𝟑 =¿
𝟒 𝟒 from .

( )
𝟒 𝟏
𝟖+ + =𝟖
𝟒 𝟒
𝟓
𝟒
Therefore, you have to regroup 1 or
from 9.

𝟓 𝟑 You can now subtract the whole


𝟖 −𝟑 =¿
𝟒 𝟒 numbers and the fractions separately.
𝟓 𝟑
𝟖 −𝟑 =¿
𝟒 𝟒

You should always remember to simplify
or reduce your answer to lowest term.
