A fraction is a part of a whole. If you cut a cake into 4 equal pieces and eat 1 piece, you ate one quarter — that is 1 over 4, written as ¼.
1/4
The top number is the numerator — it tells how many parts you have. The bottom number is the denominator — it tells how many equal parts the whole is cut into.
When fractions have the same denominator, just add the top numbers! 1/5 + 2/5 = 3/5. The denominator stays the same because the pieces are the same size.
1/5
Subtracting works the same way — subtract the top numbers and keep the bottom the same. 4/7 − 2/7 = 2/7.
