Let's solve each of the addition of fractions problems step by step. All the fractions in this worksheet have
like denominators, which means we can simply add the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

1.
$$
\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1+1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}
$$
---
2.
$$
\frac{2}{7} + \frac{3}{7} = \frac{2+3}{7} = \frac{5}{7}
$$
---
3.
$$
\frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1+3}{5} = \frac{4}{5}
$$
---
4.
$$
\frac{1}{9} + \frac{7}{9} = \frac{1+7}{9} = \frac{8}{9}
$$
---
5.
$$
\frac{1}{5} + \frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1+2+1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}
$$
---
6.
$$
\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1+3+3}{4} = \frac{7}{4}
$$
Now, $\frac{7}{4}$ is an
improper fraction. We can convert it to a mixed number:
$$
\frac{7}{4} = 1\frac{3}{4}
$$
---
7.
$$
\frac{7}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{8} = \frac{7+1+3}{8} = \frac{11}{8}
$$
Convert to mixed number:
$$
\frac{11}{8} = 1\frac{3}{8}
$$
---
8.
$$
\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2+1+2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}
$$
Convert to mixed number:
$$
\frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3}
$$
---
9.
$$
\frac{3}{5} + \frac{4}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3+4+2}{5} = \frac{9}{5}
$$
Convert to mixed number:
$$
\frac{9}{5} = 1\frac{4}{5}
$$
---
10.
$$
\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1+3+1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}
$$
Convert to mixed number:
$$
\frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4}
$$

🔍 Explanation:
- When adding fractions with
the same denominator, you
add the numerators and keep the denominator.
- If the result is an
improper fraction (numerator > denominator), convert it to a
mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
