Explanation:

The text is about fractions. Let's fill in the blanks:

1. "Fractions" are parts of a whole.
2. The "denominator" is the bottom number, and it tells the "total" amount of equal parts you have.
3. The "numerator" is the top number, and it shows how many parts are being worked with.
4. When we compare fractions, the denominator must be the "same" (for like - denominator comparison, or we find a common denominator).
5. To add or subtract fractions, the "denominator" must stay the same (for like - denominator operations).
6. When adding fractions with like denominators, simply add the "numerators".
7. When subtracting fractions with like denominators, simply "subtract" the numerators.
8. The denominator will stay the "same".

Answer:

1. Fractions
2. denominator; total
3. numerator
4. same (or we find a common denominator, but in the context of the sentence structure, "same" fits for like - denominator comparison)
5. denominator
6. numerators
7. subtract
8. same
