This worksheet contains
14 problems involving the addition of
fractions with like denominators (same denominator). The rule for adding fractions with like denominators is simple:
>
Add the numerators. Keep the denominator the same. Then simplify if possible.
Let’s solve each problem step by step.

Left Column:
#### 1. $\frac{5}{11} + \frac{5}{11} = \frac{5+5}{11} = \frac{10}{11}$
→ Already simplified.
✔
#### 2. $\frac{7}{14} + \frac{2}{14} = \frac{7+2}{14} = \frac{9}{14}$
→ 9 and 14 have no common factors → simplified.
✔
#### 3. $\frac{10}{20} + \frac{5}{20} = \frac{15}{20}$
→ Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 5 → $\frac{3}{4}$
✔
#### 4. $\frac{2}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{5}{12}$
→ 5 and 12 have no common factors → simplified.
✔
#### 5. $\frac{4}{14} + \frac{4}{14} = \frac{8}{14}$
→ Simplify: divide by 2 → $\frac{4}{7}$
✔
#### 6. $\frac{7}{17} + \frac{9}{17} = \frac{16}{17}$
→ Already simplified.
✔
#### 7. $\frac{15}{26} + \frac{9}{26} = \frac{24}{26}$
→ Simplify: divide by 2 → $\frac{12}{13}$

Right Column:
#### 8. $\frac{7}{10} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{8}{10}$
→ Simplify: divide by 2 → $\frac{4}{5}$
✔
#### 9. $\frac{7}{19} + \frac{6}{19} = \frac{13}{19}$
→ Already simplified.
✔
#### 10. $\frac{13}{25} + \frac{5}{25} = \frac{18}{25}$
→ 18 and 25 have no common factors → simplified.
✔
#### 11. $\frac{9}{22} + \frac{9}{22} = \frac{18}{22}$
→ Simplify: divide by 2 → $\frac{9}{11}$
✔
#### 12. $\frac{14}{18} + \frac{1}{18} = \frac{15}{18}$
→ Simplify: divide by 3 → $\frac{5}{6}$
✔
#### 13. $\frac{7}{31} + \frac{9}{31} = \frac{16}{31}$
→ Already simplified.
✔
#### 14. $\frac{5}{29} + \frac{16}{29} = \frac{21}{29}$
→ 21 and 29 have no common factors → simplified.
