Fractions are not whole numbers. They are fractions. You can call a fraction a whole number, but that doesn't make it one.
You have to turn the whole number into a fraction. Ex. 3= 3/1 Then get the fractions to have the same denominator. Ex. 3\1+1\3 becomes 9\3+1\3 Then add the numerators and you have your solution!
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.
Mixed Fractions are fractions that have whole numbers and fractions on the side.If you are trying to change them into improper fractions you take the denominator of the fraction and multiply it by the whole number and keep the same numerator. ex.: 2 and one fourth =
1/5 2/5 3/5 4/5 5/5 ( One whole )
1/2, 1/3 and 1/6
2/2 3/3 4/4 5/5 etc.
Fractions that multiply to get 1 whole are reciprocals, or multiplicative inverses.

(3/10)+(1/2)+(1/5)=1
1/5 2/5 3/5 4/5 5/5 ( One whole )
No. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.
Factors refer to whole numbers, not fractions.
46 3/4 - 27
18/3+6
No. All fractions are not whole numbers, but all whole numbers are [improper] fractions (with a denominator of 1).
