Answer:
no, for example
2
[tex]2 \times \frac{2 }{4} + 2 \times \frac{2}{4} = 5 \\ [/tex]
so the sum of two mixed fraction will not be always a mixed fraction
Answer no.1
true if both are positve, or if both are negative.
depends if one is + , the other -
e.g 8/5 - 9/7 = 11/35
but 15/4 - 3/2 = 9/4 , still a mixed number
Answer no.2
No. Each mixed number is made of a whole number and a fraction.
When you
add them, you have the sum of two whole numbers and two
fractions. Since
each whole number must be at least ' 1 ', the sum of two whole
numbers must
be at least ' 2 ', and the two fractions will always make it
more than ' 2 '.
