What can be added to a rational number to explain the sum of two rational numbers?

Nothing. All that doing so achieves is to show that in certain circumstances, if you add a given amount to something then you get something else. That sort of result cannot be generalised.
For example:
11 = 1 = 1*1
22 = 4 = 2*2
But from that, you cannot generalise to
33 = 3*3

Can you add two irrational numbers and get a rational number?
Yes - if I had an irrational number x, and I added that to the number (7-x), I would end up with 7.If the number is irrational, it can be subtracted from a rational/integer to make another irrational.
Is it possible to add 2 rational numbers and get a sum that is less than both the numbers you added?
I think so. -4 and -5 are both rational numbers. Their sum is -9, which is less than both of them individually.
What irrational number can be added to pi to get a sum that is rational?
Minus pi. Or minus pi plus any rational number. Here is how you can figure this out (call your unknown number "x", and let "r" stand for any rational number):x + pi = r To solve for "x", simply subtract pi from both sides. That gives you: x = r - pi
Is the sum of two POSITIVE irrational numbers ALWAYS irrational?
No. Two irrational numbers can be added to be rational. For example, 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3. 1/3 and 2/3 are both irrational, but 3/3 = 1, which is rational.
What is the sum of two numbers if 35 is the second number and is four times the first number?
The numbers are 7 and 28 which equals 35 when added together
Which numbers will produce a rational number when you added to 0.25?
Any other rational number.
Which of the following numbers will produce a rational number when added to .25?
Any other rational number.
How are two or more rational numbers added together?
They make a rational number.
Which number can be added to a rational number to explain that the sum of rational number and an irrational number is irrational?
Any, and every, irrational number will do.
Which number produces a rational number when added to 0.5?
Since the set of rational numbers is closed under addition, any rational number added to 0.5 will total another rational number.
What following numbers will produce a rational number when added to 0.25?
Any other rational number.
What property represents a rational number added to a rational number gives a rational number answer?
The relevant property is the closure of the set of rational numbers under the operation of addition.
Which of the following numbers will produce an irrational number when added to?
When added to a rational number, any irrational number will produce an irrational number.also, when added to an irrational number, any rational number will produce an irrational number.
What numbers will produce a rational number when added to 0.25?
Any other rational number.
Are negative fractions a whole number?
Short answer - yes, fractions with whole numbers are rational. All whole numbers are rational. All fractions are rational. Rational numbers can be added to always make another rational number.
What number will produce a rational number when added to 0.25?
Any number will produce a rational number when added to 0.25, since rational numbers are closed under addition.
If three irrational numbers added together is the result irrational number?
You can not add irrational numbers. You can round off irrational numbers and then add them but in the process of rounding off the numbers, you make them rational. Then the sum becomes rational.
