That is correct.
Simplify them.
No because whole numbers are integers that do not have decimals or fractions with them.
all you have to do is follow the same algorithm for adding a pair of fractions together. the main step is to find common denominators between the two. to do this, you need to find the least common multiple. another way you could find a common denominator is just by changing them into decimals, and adding them normally like whole numbers with the decimals lined up correctly.
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
adding fractions is like adding a WHOLE lot of parts of numbers
when you add mixed numbers you have a whole number but adding fraction does not.
Similarities: the sum does not depend on which number you start with (distributive)Differences: you must find a common denominator for the fractions (whole numbers have a common denominator [1]
a mixed number is a whole number with a fraction, ie. 2 3/4 Adding mixed numbers involves adding the whole numbers, then adding the fractions, then reducing the fraction and if it is improper, changing it to a whole number with a fraction and adding that whole number to the other whole number answer.
No. All fractions are not whole numbers, but all whole numbers are [improper] fractions (with a denominator of 1).
If you are adding, the result is a sum. This terminology applies whether the addends (the terms you are adding) are whole numbers or they are expressed as fractions or in decimal notation. The same is true of the sum.
Mixed numbers can be converted to improper fractions. Then, it is exactly the same as adding proper ones.
1. change the dissimilar fractions to similar fractions by getting the L.C.D or the least common denominator. 2. add the whole numbers and write down the given denominator. 3. reduce the answer to lowest term if possible.
Fractions help with numbers that are not whole numbers.
Whole numbers are rational numbers with a denominator of 1. The difference with general rational numbers is that the denominators are likely to be different and they must be made the same by converting the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator before the addition can be done - by adding the numerators and keeping the denominator, and simplifying (if possible) the result. With whole numbers the denominators are already the same (as 1) and so the addition can be done straight away.
There are an infinite number of both fractions and whole numbers.
Mixed fractions can't become whole numbers.
