Before you understand this topic, you are advice to read: What are Positive Rational Numbers ? Positive Rational Numbers are of two types: Positive Rational Numbers with Positive Numerator and Denominator Positive Rational Numbers with Negative Numerator and Denominator Positive Rational Numbers with Positive Numerator and Denominator; whose denominator is same Example 1 : Add 2/3, 5/3 Solution:In the above example, you can observe that both rational numbers have: Positive Numerator i.e. 2 and 5 Positive Denominator i.e. 3 Same Denominator i.e. 3 Addition of such rational numbers is similar to addition of like fractions and you can read the details at Addition of Like Fractions Positive Rational Numbers with Negative Numerator and Denominator; whose denominator is same: Steps of addition are as follows: Step 1: Convert Rational Number into standard form because denominator is negative Step 2: Follow the process of addition of like fractions Example 2: Add -1/-10, -5/-10 Solution: Denominators of given rational numbers are negative, so convert them to standard form and we get: 1/10, 5/10 How to convert into standard form ? Now, you can observe that both rational numbers have: Positive Numerator i.e. 1 and 5 Positive Denominator i.e. 10 Same Denominator i.e. 10 Addition of such rational numbers is similar to addition of like fractions and you can read the details at Addition of Like Fractions
