How is subtracting fractions different from adding fractions?
In subtraction you take away rather than add. Also, addition is commutative, subtraction is not so the order of the numbers does matter for subtraction.
What are composite numbers used for?
Well they are used for multipling dividing adding and subtraction
How do you add rational numbers?
By finding their common denominator & adding the top numbers of-the fractions. : )
Why is the sum and product of two rational numbers is rational?
A rational number can be stated in the form a/b where and b are integers. Adding or multiplying such numbers always gives another number that can be expressed in this form also. So it is also rational.
How is addition like subtraction?
Well, technically, addition and subtraction are opposites. if you add two numbers together, then you take one and put the other with it. if you subtract two numbers, you take one away from the other. if you are adding or subtracting decimals, then make sure that the decimals are lined up. Fractions have some different rules.
How is subtraction and rational numbers are different from adding?
They are different in the same way that subtraction of integers is different from their addition.
IF you are adding two rational numbers with different signs?
Then you are adding two rational numbers with different signs! No big deal!

When adding two rational numbers with different signs the sum will be zero Is this aways sometimes or never true?
sometimes true (when the rational numbers are the same)
What kinds of problems can you solve by adding the different types of rational numbers?
There is only one type of rational number so there are no different types which you can add.

How is adding rational numbers different than adding whole numbers?
Whole numbers are rational numbers with a denominator of 1. The difference with general rational numbers is that the denominators are likely to be different and they must be made the same by converting the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator before the addition can be done - by adding the numerators and keeping the denominator, and simplifying (if possible) the result. With whole numbers the denominators are already the same (as 1) and so the addition can be done straight away.
When adding two positive rational numbers will the sum always be zero?
No
How do operations such as addition or subtraction work on numbers?
Addition works by adding numbers together: 2+3=5. Subtraction works by taking numbers away from each other : 3-2=1.
