Can the sum be greater than 1 when two different fractions with the same denominators are both less than 1?

Yes. 3/5 + 4/5 = 7/5 which is greater than 1 and both 3/5 and 4/5 are smaller than 1.

What are pairs of fractions that add up to one but don't have the same denominators?
1/2 and 2/4 ? If both fractions are in their reduced forms, there can be no solution where the denominators are different.
How do you subtract improper fractions with different denominators?
It's the same thing as adding or subtracting normal fractions - just make sure both fractions have the same denominators (by either multiplying the denominators or simplifying the fraction - whichever the question needs).
How do you add if the numerators are the same and the denominators are different?
You have to make the fractions equivalent, which means you need to find the lowest common factor that goes into both the denominators.
Why do the denominators have to be the same for both fractions when adding and subtracting?
It makes it easier. So both of the fractions are proportional to each other.
What are equilavent fractions?
Equivalent fractions can be defined as fractions that may have different numerators and denominators but they represent the same value. For example, 9/12 and 6/8 are equivalent fractions because both are equal to 3/4.

How do you add three fractions without the same denominators?
When you want to add fractions that have different denominators, you have to convert them into fractions that do have the same denominators. So for example, how much is a half plus a third? Both of these can be converted into sixths, so one half equals three sixths, and one third equals two sixths. Three sixths plus two sixths equals five sixths. That's the answer. If you have three fractions with different denominators, the procedure is the same. Convert all three into fractions with the same denominators, then add them.
Is eight tenths greater than six tenths?
Yes. Look at the denominator (10). If the denominators of both fractions are equal than go with the higher numerator as the greater number
How do you put the following fractions from least to greatest when the denominators are different?
Multiply or divide both the numeraters and the denominators the same using GCF.Then look at the numeraters. Good luck!!!!!!!

Do you add the denominator when you add fractions?
No but the denominators must be the same and you just add the numerators. If the denominators are different and you have to find which is greater you have to find a denominator that both numbers can multiply into. For example, 5/6 and 3/12 will be our fractions. 6 times to equals 12. Since 12 is the other denominator 3/12 stays the same. Thats the only time you can change the denominator.
Do you have to change the denominators when multiplying fractions?
No. To multiple fractions multiple the numerators together and multiply the denominators together and simplify (by dividing both numerator and denominator of the result by common factors until the only common factor is 1). The denominators only need to be the same when adding or subtracting fractions.
Do you Add both the numerators and the denominators when adding fractions and mixed numbers?
False [ I THINK ]
How do you subtract Fractions with models unlike denominators?
The denominators need to be the same for subtraction. Find the Least Common Denominator for both items and then subtract.
