Hey everyone! In this video, I'm going to show you the Butterfly Method for adding fractions.

Next, multiply the first fraction's numerator by the second fraction's denominator. Also, multiply the first fraction's denominator by the second fraction's numerator. Then adding these two numbers together will be the answers numerator.

Next, multiply the two fractions' denominators to get the denominator of the answer.

Finally, write the fraction with the new numerator and denominator and you have the answer!
