To do it is the same as normal.Read this sum out loud.
Do these fractions have the samedenominator?

+ =??
How do we add these two fractions?
34
34
+ =?4
Because both denominators are the same,we do not change it, so it must be quarters.

+=
64
Now we add the numerators. 3 + 3 = 6.
34
34
+ =64
Here is our answer!
