State whether the statement is true or false:The sum of two fractions is always a fraction. |
|
Answer» True. For example: consider two fractions 10/5 and 15/5. Sum of two fractions = (10 + 15)/5 = 25/5 = 5 = 5/1 A fraction in which there is no common factor, except 1, in its numerator and denominator is called a fraction in the simplest or lowest form. When 2 fractions are added, the result in most cases will be a fraction p/q form, but in some case if it does happen to be just a integer, it can always be written with denominator 1 (hence p/q form). |
