What is the rule for adding integers and rational numbers with the same sign?
The value of the answer is the sum of the absolute values of the numbers and the sign of the answer is the same as that of the two numbers.
IF you are adding two rational numbers with different signs?
Then you are adding two rational numbers with different signs! No big deal!
How do you add rational numbers?
By finding their common denominator & adding the top numbers of-the fractions. : )
How is subtraction rational numbers different from adding?
Subtraction is not commutative nor associative.
Why is the sum and product of two rational numbers is rational?
A rational number can be stated in the form a/b where and b are integers. Adding or multiplying such numbers always gives another number that can be expressed in this form also. So it is also rational.

Wats the rule for adding rational numbers with the same sign?
Wats are temples from South East Asia and, as far as I am aware, they do not dicatate any rules for adding rational numbers.

Are rational numbers whole numbers?
The set of rational numbers includes all whole numbers, so SOME rational numbers will also be whole number. But not all rational numbers are whole numbers. So, as a rule, no, rational numbers are not whole numbers.

When adding two positive rational numbers will the sum always be zero?
No
When adding two rational numbers with different signs the sum will be zero Is this aways sometimes or never true?
sometimes true (when the rational numbers are the same)

A rational number can be stated in the form a/b where and b are integers. Adding or multiplying such numbers always gives another number that can be expressed in this form also. So it is also rational.
When adding two negative rational numbers the sum will be negative sometimes never always?
Never.
What kinds of problems can you solve by adding the different types of rational numbers?
There is only one type of rational number so there are no different types which you can add.
How is adding rational numbers different than adding 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.
