If the fractions do not all have the same denominator, find a common multiple of the denominators (ideally the lowest common multiple) and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with this denominator.
Now with all the fractions with the same denominator, add together the numerators.
Finally, reduce the fraction to simplest terms, converting any improper fraction to a mixed number.

How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is less than 1?
if you are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2, what must be true about the sum?
What is the sum of a whole number part and the fractions part called?
The sum of a whole number and a fraction is called a mixed number.
How do you find the average of fractions?
The same way that you calculate the average for any other numbers. Sum the fractions and divide the total by the number of fractions.
When you add two fractions the answer is called?
the sum the sum
How do you calculate an average with fractions?
The same way you calculate averages with whole numbers: Add up all the fractions and divide by the number of fractions there are.
When you add fractions you are finding their?
The answer to an addition is called the sum. Fractions and other numbers.
Find the sum of fractions?
If I had some fractions, I might. But since I don't, I won't.
What is true about the numerators of two like fractions with a sum of one?
They will sum to the denominator.
What other n number of unit fractions can be found that sum to 1?
There are infinitely many different ways to make groups of fractions that sum to 1.
When does the sum of two fractions equal one?
The sum of two fractions will be equal to one when the numerator and the denominator of their sum are the same. Example: 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 or 1
What is true about the numerators of two like fractions with a sum of 1?
That their sum is always equal to the denominator.
What are three fractions using 10 as a denominator and 1 as its sum?
I have no idea what the "sum" of a fraction means.
What is a good comparison of the estimated sum and actual sum of fractions?
A good comparison is the percentage error.
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.
