Spiral Assessment #5

Add (Remember the denominator must stay the same: 1/6 + 3/6 = 4/6)

1.)   3/7 +  2/7  =

2.)  1/5 + 2/5 + 3/5 =

3.)  6/3 + 2/3 =

*Don't forget to find the common denominator before adding: 1/3 + 1/4 (the common denominator would be 12, so 1/3 would equal 4/12 and 1/4 would equal 3/12), therefore your answer would be 7/12.

4.)  2/5 + 3/10 =

5.)  3/5 + 3/7 =

6.)  5/7 + 1/2 =

Turn the fractions below into a Mixed Fraction.  For example, 5/3 = 1   2/3

7.) 15/4 =

8.)  13/2 =
