VERTICALLY AND CROSSWISE
Addition and subtraction of fractions are usually found to be very difficult as the method is complicated and hard to remember. But the Vertically and Crosswise formula gives the answer immediately.

Find
a) 6 1
– - –
7 4
Subtraction is the same except we cross-multiply and subtract rather than add.
Be sure to start at the top left.
6 1 6 × 4 - 1 × 7 24-7 17
– - – = ----------------- = --------- = ---
7 4 7 × 4 28 28
B)
4 3 16-15 1
5 – - 1 – = 4 --------- = 4 -
5 4 20 20
Similarly here but deal with the whole parts
first.
C )
1 2 5-6 –1 14
4 - - 1 - = 3 -- = 3 -- = 2 - -
3 5 15 15 15
Here we get a negative numerator, but it is
easily dealt with by taking 1 / 15
from one of
the whole ones. so 3-1=2 ; 15-1=14
1 2
D) 3 - – = 2 –
3 3
