If the sum of two fractions have the same number of numerator and denominator.
Fraction is nothing but a part of 1. When we say 1/8 it means 1 has been divided into 8 equal parts.
So if for example I consider it as a whole cake and cut it into 8 equal slices or parts and I eat 3 parts and you eat the balance, 5 parts, then the fraction which I eat is 3/8 and you eat is 5/8 and when we add both we get again 3/8+5/8 = 8/8 =1 i.e the whole cake we started with.
Hence if the two fractions which you are adding are total number of equal parts a 1 has been divided into it will give you exactly one. For eg. 1/3 and 2/3, 2/5 and 3/5, 7/9 and 2/9 etc....
It's easy to tell if the two fractions have a common denominator.
In that case, their sum is exactly ' 1 ' if the sum of their numerators is equal to their common denominator.

When adding two mixed numbers if the sum of the fractions is greater than 1 you have to carry the 1 over to the whole number side?
That is correct.
How do two fractions have a difference close to 0?
according to sum of fractions: a/b + c/d = (ad+bc)/bd hence for example: a=c=1 , b=d=2: (ad+bc)/bd = (2+2)/2x2 = 4/4 = 1 sagy
The sum of two numbers is k Find the minimum value of the sum of their cubes?
1
What is the reciprocal of a fraction?
The reciprocal of a fraction is when you flip the two fractions as shown . 1/8 = 8/1
The sum of two quadratic functions will always be quadratic?
No. While the sum of two qudratics cannot have a power greater than two, it could have a power of 2, 1 or 0. x2 + 1 is one quadratic (2-x)(2+x) is another quadratic. Their sum is 1, a constant (power = 0).
How do two fractions have sum of exactly 1?
one half and other half equals 1 exactly.
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 two fractions have a sum of 13 out of 24 and have a product of 1 out of 16?
The two fractions are 1/6 and 3/8
What are two fractions that make a sum of two?
1/2 + 1 1/2=2
When does the sum of two fractions equal 1?
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than 1 less than 1 or equal to?
To determine whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than, less than, or equal to 1, you need to add the numerators of the fractions together and compare the result to the common denominator. If the sum of the numerators is greater than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be greater than 1. If the sum of the numerators is less than the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be less than 1. If the sum of the numerators is equal to the denominator, the sum of the fractions will be equal to 1.
How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is less than 1?
if you are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2, what must be true about the sum?
What is true about the numerators of two like fractions with a sum of 1?
That their sum is always equal to the denominator.
Two fractions who sum is 1?
1half+1half 3quarters+1quarter
What two fractions equal the sum 5 6ths?
1/3 + 1/2
What is -0.25in a sum of two fractions?
-1/8 and -1/8 = -1/4 which is the same as -0.25
When you estimate the sum of 2 fractions the estimate is never a whole number?
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.
