Label the Units (Fractions with Units)

Lesson Page 3, Section 2

What you'll work on

Add fractions that carry units by finding a common denominator, adding the numerators, and keeping the unit on the result.

Big Idea for this lesson

$A painted illustration of two small classical thermometers side by side — one with its red column at a partial height, one with its column at a slightly higher partial height — connected by a soft painted plus sign in between, and a single combined thermometer drawn to the right showing the summed level. Warm parchment background, no text or numbers.$

When adding fractions with units, add the fractions and keep the unit. The unit never changes — only the numbers do.
