The question is worded so vaguely and awkwardly that no definitive answer is possible, and only a wild guess as to its meaning is possible. Are you adding the two fractions? Subtracting them? Multiplying them? Dividing one by the other? If you are adding them: x/y + x/y = 2x/y If you are subtracting them: x/y - x/y = 0 Multiplying them: (x/y)(x/y) = (x/y)2 = x2/y2 Dividing one by the other: (x/y) / (x/y) = (x/y)*(y/x) = 1

How do you make 2 into a fraction?
2 is 2/1 in fraction.The equivalent fractions of 2/1 is 4/2, 6/3, 8/4,10/5,... (all have a quotient which is equal to 2.)
When multiplying fractions if the denominators are the same do they cancel each other out example 38 x 58?
No, demnominators do not cancel when multiplying fractions. This is a very common mistake students make when they do fractions. In your question, the denominator is 1 for both 38 x 58 because you can see this as: 38/1 and 58/1. The 1s will not cancel. However, this will be different if your question was "what is 38 x 1/58?". This is the same thing as saying 38/58. You can simplify this one by finding a common factor.
What is one fourth plus one seventh?
11/28 To add two fractions, you need to make the bottoms of both the same. One fourth is equal to 7/28, and 1/7 is equal to 4/28, so added they equal 11/28. You could also ind the answer by converting both to decimals, and adding.
How does interpreting decimals as fractions help you make sense of adding and subtracting decimals?
Decimals are fractions. Fractions are easy to picture graphically. Considering them in a concrete fashion makes the basic operations of addition and subtraction easy to visualize.
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 '.
