Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Mathematics7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module 7 on
Operations On Rational Numbers!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from
public institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping the learners meet
the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social,
and economic constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the
module:
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You
also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage their
own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as
they do the tasks included in the module.

Lesson Addition and Subtraction of
1 Rational Numbers
Rational numbers are used all the time! From buying and selling products using money
and terminating decimals to cooking with fractions, people use rational numbers just
about every day! In addition, by giving the group of numbers a name and
characteristics, we can study them, learn about their properties and even expand our
horizon to determine what other types of numbers are used when rational numbers
don't get the job done.
What’s In
The next activity will help you check your prior understanding and learnings as to the
operations on rational numbers.

What’s New
To perform addition or subtraction of fractions you need to take note the following
terms and be able to follow
patterns:
What is It
This section provides a brief discussion of the lesson. This aims to help you discover
and understand new concepts and skills.
To add and subtract rational numbers, let us consider the following illustrative
examples:
Guide questions:
5
➢ What is the least common denominator (LCD) or least common
multiple (LCM) of the fractions?
Answer: The LCD is 4 and the LCM is also 4
Notes:
To find the least common denominator, simply list the
multiples of each denominator (multiply 2, 3, 4, etc. Out about 6 or
seven usually works) then look for the smallest number that
appears in each list.
In the example, the multiples of 4 are 4, 8,12, 16,.. and the
multiples of 2 are 2, 4, 6, 8, ..
Now, when you look at the list of multiples, you can see that
4 is the smallest number that appears in each list. Therefore, the
1 1
least common denominator and least common multiple of 𝑎𝑛𝑑
4 2
is 4.
1 1 1 2 3 1 1 1 2 3
+ = + = + = + =
4 2 4 4 4 4 2 4 4 4
Note: The LCD is 4. Note: The LCM is 4.
Take a look at the final answer of two different processes, they appear to be
equal.
𝑎 𝑐 𝑎(𝑑) 𝑏(𝑐) 𝑎𝑑+𝑏𝑐
Pattern: 𝑏 + = + = , where 𝑏 ≠ 0 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑑 ≠ 0.
𝑑 𝑏𝑑 𝑏𝑑 𝑏𝑑
1 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 4 −2 −1
− = − = − − = − = =
4 2 4 4 4 4 2 8 8 8 4
Note: The LCD is 4. Note: The LCM is 8.
𝑎 𝑐 𝑎𝑑 𝑏𝑐 𝑎𝑑−𝑏𝑐
Pattern: − = − = , where 𝑏 ≠ 0 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑑 ≠ 0
𝑏 𝑑 𝑏𝑑 𝑏𝑑 𝑏𝑑

2. How can we calculate the shaded area?
A. (8 − 3) + (8 − 3) + (8 − 3) + (8 − 3)
𝟖 𝟖 𝟖
B. 𝟑 + 𝟑 + 𝟑
𝟑 𝟑 𝟑 𝟑
C. 𝟖 + 𝟖 + 𝟖 + 𝟖
Answer: C, but how do you add similar fractions or fractions with common
denominator?
3 3 3 3
Since C. is 8 + + + 8 , it appears that the denominator(8) is similar, so
8 8
12 3
simply copy and add the numerators and therefore it is equal to =
