Star Test Math

During the star test math questions a skills that I learned was how to add fractions with different denominators. First, you find the L.C.M (the Least Common Multiple)for the two denominators. Next, you Re-write each equivalent fraction using this new denominators. Then,you can add the numerators, and keep the denominator of the equivalent fractions. Last,you Re-write your answer as a simplified or reduced.
Another skill that I learned was to cross out answers that I know are wrong andf then you take a good guess .
