Common Mistakes to Avoid
Adding denominators when adding fractions
Fix: Only numerators are added after finding a common denominator. The denominator stays the same once common.
Forgetting to flip the second fraction when dividing
Fix: Division requires multiplying by the reciprocal. Flip the second fraction, then multiply.
Leaving the result unsimplified
Fix: Always reduce the fraction to lowest terms by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.
