Of course! This worksheet is about adding
simple fractions with the same denominator. The rule for adding fractions with the same denominator is very straightforward:
>
Add the numerators (top numbers) and keep the denominator (bottom number) the same.
After adding, you may need to
simplify the fraction if possible.
Let’s solve each problem step by step.

Left Column:
1. $\frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1+3}{5} = \frac{4}{5}$
→ Already simplified.
2. $\frac{4}{13} + \frac{7}{13} = \frac{4+7}{13} = \frac{11}{13}$
→ Already simplified.
3. $\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1+2}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$
→ Already simplified.
4. $\frac{2}{7} + \frac{4}{7} = \frac{2+4}{7} = \frac{6}{7}$
→ Already simplified.
5. $\frac{5}{11} + \frac{2}{11} = \frac{5+2}{11} = \frac{7}{11}$
→ Already simplified.
6. $\frac{8}{18} + \frac{10}{18} = \frac{8+10}{18} = \frac{18}{18} = 1$
→ Simplify: $\frac{18}{18} = 1$
7. $\frac{9}{15} + \frac{2}{15} = \frac{9+2}{15} = \frac{11}{15}$
→ Already simplified.

Right Column:
1. $\frac{2}{9} + \frac{3}{9} = \frac{2+3}{9} = \frac{5}{9}$
→ Already simplified.
2. $\frac{6}{14} + \frac{3}{14} = \frac{6+3}{14} = \frac{9}{14}$
→ Already simplified.
3. $\frac{3}{8} + \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3+3}{8} = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$
→ Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 2.
4. $\frac{12}{21} + \frac{6}{21} = \frac{12+6}{21} = \frac{18}{21} = \frac{6}{7}$
→ Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 3.
5. $\frac{8}{13} + \frac{2}{13} = \frac{8+2}{13} = \frac{10}{13}$
→ Already simplified.
6. $\frac{3}{19} + \frac{7}{19} = \frac{3+7}{19} = \frac{10}{19}$
→ Already simplified.
7. $\frac{14}{25} + \frac{5}{25} = \frac{14+5}{25} = \frac{19}{25}$
→ Already simplified.
