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.
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 '.
When will the difference of two fractions be equal to zero?
When you subtract a fraction from itself. Two equivalent fractions also have a difference of zero.
How can you tell if two fractions are equivalent?
Two fractions are equivalent if the fully simplified fractions are equal. If you can multiply the fraction with the smaller numerator and denominator by the same value to equal the second fraction. For example the fractions 3/4 and 9/12. The nominator and denominator, 3 and 4 have both been multiplied by 3 to equal 9/12. Cross multiply. If the products are equal, the fractions are equal. Cross multiplying means to multiply each numerator of one fraction with the denominator of the other fraction.
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.
What is true about the numerators of two like fractions with a sum of 1?
That their sum is always equal to the denominator.
When does the sum of two fractions equal 1?
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
What two fractions equal the sum 5 6ths?

Can the quotient of two fractions be ever equal to one?
Yes, but only if the two fractions are the same or equivalent fractions (other than 0).
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.
Is the sum of two fractions always a fraction?
No - one half plus one half equals one.
What is the difference between two equal fractions?
the difference between two equal fractions is zero.
