5/6 + 1/7 is 35/42 + 6/42 = 41/42
If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator the sum is greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator the sum is equal to 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator the sum is less 1.
There are infinitely many different ways to make groups of fractions that sum to 1.
The sum of two fractions will be equal to one when the numerator and the denominator of their sum are the same. Example: 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 or 1
That their sum is always equal to the denominator.
if you are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2, what must be true about the sum?
The two fractions are 1/6 and 3/8
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
I have no idea what the "sum" of a fraction means.
1half+1half 3quarters+1quarter
1/3 + 1/2
1/2 + 1 1/2=2
The sum of two fractions will only be a whole number if the fractions have a common denominator. When the denominators are different, the sum will be a fraction with a different denominator, making it impossible to be a whole number. Thus, estimating the sum of two fractions will generally result in a fraction, not a whole number.
