Add fractions with unlike denominators by transforming the fractions so that they have like denominators
First, list down the values stated in the problem
Use cross method to add the two fractions.
First, multiply the two denominators. Use the product as a denominator for a new fraction.
To get the numerator, cross multiply the given addition problem and add the products.
1 4 + 3 5
=
( 1 × 5 ) + ( 4 × 3 ) 20
=
5 + 12 20
=
17 20
Finally, subtract this fraction from 1 . 1 represents the whole sum of money
1 - 17 20
=
20 20 - 17 20
Subtract the numerators
=
3 20
Keep the same denominator
Arnold would be giving 3 20 of the money to charity.

1 3 + 1 4
=
( 1 × 4 ) + ( 3 × 1 ) 12
=
4 + 3 12
=
7 12
Finally, subtract this fraction from 1 . 1 represents the whole chocolate bar
1 - 7 12
=
12 12 - 7 12
Subtract the numerators
=
5 12
Keep the same denominator
5 12 remains of Georgia’s chocolate bar.

Add fractions with unlike denominators by transforming the fractions so that they have like denominators
First, list down the values stated in the problem
Initial amount of fuel that was used
=
1 2 (Since the tank was half full)
Further fuel used
=
1 5
Use cross method to add the two fractions.
First, multiply the two denominators. Use the product as a denominator for a new fraction.
To get the numerator, cross multiply the given addition problem and add the products.
1 2 + 1 5
=
( 1 × 5 ) + ( 2 × 1 ) 10
=
5 + 2 10
=
7 10
Finally, subtract this fraction from 1 . 1 represents the whole sum of money
1 - 7 10
=
10 10 - 7 10
Subtract the numerators
=
3 10
Keep the same denominator
3 10 of the fuel tank remains.

Add fractions with unlike denominators by transforming the fractions so that they have like denominators
First, list down the values stated in the problem
Initial amount
=
1 2 (half full)
Amount after adding 1 L
=
3 4 (three quarters full)
We can find the fraction that is equivalent to 1 L by subtracting these fractions
Since 4 is a multiple of 2 , 4 is the L C D
3 4 - 1 2
=
3 4 − 1 × 2 2 × 2
Multiply by 2 so that the denominator becomes 4
=
3 4 − 2 4
Subtract the numerators
=
1 4
Keep the same denominator
This means that 1 L is equivalent to 1 4 of the bucket.
Equate 1 4 and 1 L and multiply both sides so that 1 4 becomes 1 . Here, 1 represents a full bucket.
1 4
=
1 L
1 4 × 4
=
1 L × 4
1 4 × 4 1
=
4 L
4 4
=
4 L
1
=
4 L
A full bucket contains 4 L .
