The value of the answer is the sum of the absolute values of the numbers and the sign of the answer is the same as that of the two numbers.

Wats are temples from South East Asia and, as far as I am aware, they do not dicatate any rules for adding rational numbers.


IF you are adding two rational numbers with different signs?

Then you are adding two rational numbers with different signs! No big deal!


Are rational numbers whole numbers?

The set of rational numbers includes all whole numbers, so SOME rational numbers will also be whole number. But not all rational numbers are whole numbers. So, as a rule, no, rational numbers are not whole numbers.


How are adding and subtracting integers related to adding and subtracting other rational numbers?

Adding and subtracting integers is a specific case of adding and subtracting rational numbers, as integers can be expressed as rational numbers with a denominator of 1. The fundamental rules for adding and subtracting integers—such as combining like signs and using the number line—apply similarly to other rational numbers, which can include fractions and decimals. The operations are governed by the same principles of arithmetic, ensuring that the properties of addition and subtraction, such as commutativity and associativity, hold true across both integers and broader rational numbers. Thus, mastering integer operations provides a solid foundation for working with all rational numbers.


How do you add rational numbers?

By finding their common denominator & adding the top numbers of-the fractions. : )


When adding two positive rational numbers will the sum always be zero?

No


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)


How is subtraction rational numbers different from adding?

Subtraction is not commutative nor associative.


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.


When adding two negative rational numbers the sum will be negative sometimes never always?

Never.


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.
