The sum of three fractions with odd numerators can never equal one half because when you add three odd numbers together, the result is always an odd number. Since one half is a fraction with an even numerator, it is not possible to obtain it as the sum of three fractions with odd numerators. This can be proven mathematically by considering the properties of odd and even numbers in fraction addition.

How did you get seven eighths in the question one half plus three eighths?

Just do the usual steps to add fractions. First, find the common denominator (8, in this case). Second, convert both fractions to the common denominator. Third, add the numerators.


Which is greater three eighths or one half?

To compare fractions convert them to equivalent fractions having the same denominator. 1/2 = 4/8. By comparison of the numerators it can be seen that 4/8 is greater than 3/8. Therefore 1/2 is greater than 3/8.


Are the fractions half and Three fourths equivalent?

To compare if they are the same (ie equivalent fractions), make them both into equivalent fractions with the same denominator and compare the numerators. To find equivalent fractions multiply (or divide) both the numerator and denominator by the same number. → 1/2 = (1×2)/(2×2) = 2/4 → 3/4 = 3/4 The two fractions now have the same denominator (4), so compare their numerators: ½ now has a numerator of 2 whereas ¾ (still ) has a numerator of 3. 2 does not equal 3 so ½ does not equal ¾; ie ½ and ¾ are not equivalent fractions.


How do you Add 6 one -half plus 6 one-half plus 6 three-fourth plus 6 three -fourth?

Carry out the following steps:Convert each of the mixed fractions into improper fractions.Rename these fractions so that their denominators are the same (= d).Add the numerators together (= n)The answer is n/d, which will be an improper fraction and you may wish to convert that to a mixed fraction.


What fraction do you suppose is one half of one third?

Half of 1/3 = 1/2 times 1/3. Multiplying the numerators and denominators (this is how you multiply fractions) you receive an answer of 1/6


What are two or more fractions that name the same value called?

Fractions that name the same value are called equivalent fractions. Equivalent fractions have different numerators and denominators but represent the same proportion of a whole. For example, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions because they both represent half of a whole.

How many fractions are between three-fourths and one-half?

Whatever two fractions you name, no matter how close together they are, I can always name another fraction between them. In fact, there are an infinite number of fractions between any two fractions, no matter how close together they are. That goes for three-fourths and one-half.
