Here are the solutions for the fraction addition problems. I have worked through each one step-by-step to ensure the answers are correct.
1.
* First circle: 2 out of 4 parts are shaded ($\frac{2}{4}$).
* Second circle: 2 out of 4 parts are shaded ($\frac{2}{4}$).
* Add them together: $2 + 2 = 4$. So, $\frac{4}{4}$.
*
Answer: $\frac{2}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{4}{4}$ (which equals 1 whole)
2.
* First circle: 1 out of 5 parts is shaded ($\frac{1}{5}$).
* Second circle: 2 out of 5 parts are shaded ($\frac{2}{5}$).
* Add them together: $1 + 2 = 3$. So, $\frac{3}{5}$.
*
Answer: $\frac{1}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$
3.
* First circle: 2 out of 6 parts are shaded ($\frac{2}{6}$).
* Second circle: 3 out of 6 parts are shaded ($\frac{3}{6}$).
* Add them together: $2 + 3 = 5$. So, $\frac{5}{6}$.
*
Answer: $\frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$
4.
* First circle: 4 out of 8 parts are shaded ($\frac{4}{8}$).
* Second circle: 2 out of 8 parts are shaded ($\frac{2}{8}$).
* Add them together: $4 + 2 = 6$. So, $\frac{6}{8}$.
*
Answer: $\frac{4}{8} + \frac{2}{8} = \frac{6}{8}$
5.
* First circle: 3 out of 8 parts are shaded ($\frac{3}{8}$).
* Second circle: 4 out of 8 parts are shaded ($\frac{4}{8}$).
* Add them together: $3 + 4 = 7$. So, $\frac{7}{8}$.
*
Answer: $\frac{3}{8} + \frac{4}{8} = \frac{7}{8}$
6.
* First circle: 5 out of 10 parts are shaded ($\frac{5}{10}$).
* Second circle: 3 out of 10 parts are shaded ($\frac{3}{10}$).
* Add them together: $5 + 3 = 8$. So, $\frac{8}{10}$.
*
Answer: $\frac{5}{10} + \frac{3}{10} = \frac{8}{10}$
7.
* First circle: 2 out of 10 parts are shaded ($\frac{2}{10}$).
* Second circle: 4 out of 10 parts are shaded ($\frac{4}{10}$).
* Add them together: $2 + 4 = 6$. So, $\frac{6}{10}$.
*
Answer: $\frac{2}{10} + \frac{4}{10} = \frac{6}{10}$
8.
* First circle: 6 out of 12 parts are shaded ($\frac{6}{12}$).
* Second circle: 4 out of 12 parts are shaded ($\frac{4}{12}$).
* Add them together: $6 + 4 = 10$. So, $\frac{10}{12}$.
*
Answer: $\frac{6}{12} + \frac{4}{12} = \frac{10}{12}$

1. $\frac{2}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{4}{4}$
2. $\frac{1}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$
3. $\frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$
4. $\frac{4}{8} + \frac{2}{8} = \frac{6}{8}$
5. $\frac{3}{8} + \frac{4}{8} = \frac{7}{8}$
6. $\frac{5}{10} + \frac{3}{10} = \frac{8}{10}$
7. $\frac{2}{10} + \frac{4}{10} = \frac{6}{10}$
8. $\frac{6}{12} + \frac{4}{12} = \frac{10}{12}$
