Solving Word Problems by Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators

Math with Mr. J

This instructional math video guides students through the process of solving word problems that require adding fractions with unlike denominators. Hosted by "Math with Mr. J," the video breaks down two distinct real-world scenarios: calculating spending habits and tracking reading progress. For each problem, the instructor demonstrates how to identify the correct operation, set up the equation, find a common denominator to rename fractions, and perform the addition to find the total amount.
