In general, if you subtract two minus three, the result is minus one. However, in the case of apples, you can't take three apples if you have only two. Negative numbers make sense in some other cases, though.

Explain why when adding fractions the denominators are not added together?

Think of it this way: The denominators tell what kind of things are being added, whereas the numerators tell how many things are being added. Examples: (two/apple) + (three/apple) = (two+three)/(apple) = five/apple. ================================================ (two/apple) + (three/plum) is NOT equal to (two+three)/(apple+plum) ================================================ (one)/(pair) + (two)/(pair) = (one+two)/(pair) = (three)/(pair) ================================================= (one)/(pair) + (one)/(individual) + (two)/(individual) = ? ? ? ===> express (one)/(pair) as (two)/(individual), then: (two)/(individual) + (one)/(individual) + (two)/(individual) = (five)/(individual) or (2.5)/(pair)

Take two apples from three apples and what so you have?

It is virtually impossible to answer this question because it is so poorly specified. The question does not say who "you" are, nor does it give the context of "have".If you are the taker, then you have two apples.If you are the one that is taken from, then you have one apple left.Going beyond the number of apples, you may have theft or you may have a fruity snack.You have one apple.Anytime you "take X" of something from something else, you are subtracting.So, three apples minus two apples leaves one apple.
