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.

When adding two fractions that are both less than one half what must be true of the sum?

When adding two fractions that are both less than one half, the sum will always be less than one. Specifically, if both fractions are positive, their sum will be less than one because the maximum possible value for the sum is one half plus one half, which equals one. Therefore, the sum of two fractions each less than one half will be less than one.
