What is true about the numerators of two like fractions with a sum of 1?
That their sum is always equal to the denominator.
How do you add three fractions with unlike denominators?
-- Find a common denominator. (It will be a number of which all three denominators are factors. The best choice is their least common multiple.) -- Change the fractions to their equivalents with the common denominator. -- Then add their numerators to get the numerator of their sum.
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.
When you estimate the sum of 2 fractions the estimate is never a whole number?
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.
What three fractions using 10 as the denominator whose sum is1?
(1/10) + (3/10) + (6/10) = 1
