It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet cover titled
"Adding and Subtracting Fractions: Like and Unlike Denominators". However, the image itself does not contain a specific problem to solve—it's a promotional or cover page for a set of math worksheets.
The image shows two sample worksheets:
1.
Left Worksheet: *Adding Fractions with Like Denominators*
- Example: \( \frac{3}{10} + \frac{4}{10} = ? \)
- These are fractions where the denominators are the same, so you simply add the numerators.
2.
Right Worksheet: *Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators*
- Example: \( \frac{7}{8} - \frac{5}{6} = ? \)
- These require finding a common denominator before subtracting.
Key Features:
- The worksheets are designed for students learning fraction operations.
- Each worksheet has 20 problems.
- An
answer key is included, as noted at the bottom.
- There are
45 pages in total, suggesting a comprehensive practice pack.

How to Solve These Problems:
####
✔ Adding Fractions with Like Denominators:
When denominators are the same, just add the numerators and keep the denominator.
Example:
\[
\frac{3}{10} + \frac{4}{10} = \frac{3+4}{10} = \frac{7}{10}
\]
####
✔ Subtracting Fractions with Unlike Denominators:
You must find the
least common denominator (LCD) first.
Steps:
1. Find the LCD of the denominators.
2. Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the LCD.
3. Subtract the numerators.
4. Simplify if needed.
Example:
\[
\frac{7}{8} - \frac{5}{6}
\]
- LCD of 8 and 6 is 24.
- Convert:
\( \frac{7}{8} = \frac{21}{24} \),
\( \frac{5}{6} = \frac{20}{24} \)
- Subtract:
\( \frac{21}{24} - \frac{20}{24} = \frac{1}{24} \)

Final Note:
Since this is a
worksheet cover, there’s no single problem to solve here. If you'd like help solving
specific problems from these types of worksheets, please provide one or more examples (e.g., \( \frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{5} \) or \( \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{6} \)), and I’ll walk you through the solution step by step!
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of adding and subtracting fractions with like and unlike denominators worksheet.
