There are infinitely many solutions to that. Pick any fraction. Subtract 1 minus that fraction to get the second fraction. Examples:
1/2 + 1/2
3/2 + (-1/2)
1/5 + 4/5
2/17 + 15/17
etc.

Yes, any two whole numbers added together will equal a whole number.
Short answer - yes, fractions with whole numbers are rational. All whole numbers are rational. All fractions are rational. Rational numbers can be added to always make another rational number.
A "whole" is typically represented by the fraction 1, as it signifies the entirety of something. In terms of fractions that make a whole, any two fractions that add up to 1 would fit this criteria. For example, 1/2 and 1/2, or 3/4 and 1/4 would both make a whole when added together.
More than that. You need to multiply the whole number, the farctions AND cross multiply the whole numbers and the fractions. Then add together all the answers. Thus, 23/4 * 56/7 = 2*5 + (3/4*6/7) + 2*6/7 + 3/4*5 Actually, it is far simpler to convert the mixed fractions to improper (top heavy) fractions, and then multiply the numerators together to give the numerator of the answer and multiply the denominators together to give the denominators of the answer.
A simple fraction is a fraction that is a whole number divided by a whole number. Complex fractions can have fractions inside of fractions.
