Can any fraction be expressed as the sum of two unit fraction?
Yes, but only if negative unit fractions are included.For example 3/7 = 1/2 - 1/14but I do not think there are positive unit fractions that will do.Yes, but only if negative unit fractions are included.For example 3/7 = 1/2 - 1/14but I do not think there are positive unit fractions that will do.Yes, but only if negative unit fractions are included.For example 3/7 = 1/2 - 1/14but I do not think there are positive unit fractions that will do.Yes, but only if negative unit fractions are included.For example 3/7 = 1/2 - 1/14but I do not think there are positive unit fractions that will do.
What is a unit in fractions?
A unit = 1 = 1/1 in fraction form.
How are unit rates and rates alike?
Unit rates are a special type of rates: those where the numerator or, more usually the denominator, of the rate is 1.
What is added to the base unit to show multiples or fractions of that unit?
an exponent
What is a unit rate where the the denominator is one unit?
its always going to be in the denominator of 2 fractions.
Why is it useful to write a ratio of a fraction as a unit rate?
For people who are not familiar with fractions it is easier to compare them in the form of unit rates.
Where in life do you use GCF and LCM?
The teaching of mathematics in school is graduated so that each task mastered leads to the next set of problems. There was a time in your life when you didn't know what 1 + 1 was. You mastered that. Mastering the GCF helps you to reduce fractions. Mastering the LCM helps you to add and subtract fractions. Let's look down the road. What else is about mastering the manipulation of numbers and fractions and percentages? Money. Every business uses that in some form or another.

How are all unit fractions alike and different?
Unit fractions all have the same numerators but the denominators can be different.
Is it true that ancient Egyptians thought that all fractions could be written as unit fractions?
No. They thought that all fractions could be expressed as combinations of unit fractions. They and other ancients may have thought that any fraction could be wretten as a combination of unit fractions, but according to wikipedia they (ancient Egyptians) had special symbols for 2/3 and 3/4 and even had a papyrus used by scribes that listed the equivalents for 2/n, so they did not always write fractions as this combination of unit fractions. Does your question mean a combination of unit fractions, or as a unit fraction?
How can you do unit rates?
You're question is unclear. Most rates are unit rates. Miles per hour implies 1 hour which is a unit (1) rate.

What is a unit in fractions?
A unit = 1 = 1/1 in fraction form.
How do you do unit fractions?
How would we do it well remember a unit fraction always has one as a numerator. So 2/3 would be 1/3 plus 1/3. These are the unit fractions. It's got a 1 is a numerator all right 5/6 would be a 1 6.
Why are rates usually written as unit rates?
With unit rates there is only one number that needs to be remembered for the conversion factor.
What are the unit fractions for 78?
78/1
How are rates and unit rates different?
The second number in a unit rate is usually 1, although it can be the first.
