When does the sum of two fractions equal one?
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
What is true about the numerators of two like fractions with a sum of 1?
That their sum is always equal to the denominator.
What do you notice when the denominators in two fractions are the same?
You can represent the two fractions with one fraction with a numerator equal to the sum of the two individual numerators (with sign) and a denominator equal to just one of the two denominators.
When does the sum of two fractions equal 1?
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
When you add two fractions the answer is called?
the sum the sum
What is three and a half minus two and two thirds?
You have to find the common denominator for the fractions, so multiply the "half" (2) by the "thirds" (3). These two numbers multiplied with give 6 as a common denominator. Then multiply the 1 by the 3, which will give 3/6ths, and the 2 by the other 2, which will give 4/6ths. Hmmm! it seems that 4/6ths is greater than 3/6ths, so you have to add a whole to the 3/6ths to make a big enough fraction to subtract. Doing that will give you 9/6ths and you can subtract the 4/6ths. So the answer would be 5/6ths. Try it.
How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than 1 less than 1 or equal to?
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.
What is the difference between two equal fractions?
the difference between two equal fractions is zero.
Can the sum of two mixed numbers be equel to 2 Explain why or why not?
No. Each mixed number is made of a whole number and a fraction. When you add them, you have the sum of two whole numbers and two fractions. Since each whole number must be at least ' 1 ', the sum of two whole numbers must be at least ' 2 ', and the two fractions will always make it more than ' 2 '.
What is true about the numerators of two like fractions with a sum of one?
They will sum to the denominator.
Two and one third minus one and two thirds?
If you convert both numbers into 6ths it is easier to work out. 1 and 1/2 is 9/6ths and 2/3rds is 4/6ths. so, 9/6ths - 4/6ths = 5/6ths.
What represents the differences between two equal fractions?
If two fractions are equal then the difference between them is zero (0).
