Question

julia writes 2 fraction with the same denominator that have numerators 5 and 7. What could the denominator be if the sum is less than 1 equal to 1 greater than 1 ?

Answer 1

5/6 and 7/8 is less than one

5/5 and 7/7 is equal to one

6/5 and 8/7 is greater than one

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{5}{24} +\frac{7}{24} =\frac{12}{24} =\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{5}{12} +\frac{7}{12} =\frac{12}{12} =1$

$\frac{5}{6} +\frac{7}{6} =\frac{12}{6} =2$

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to sum two fractions that have the same denominator and the numeratos 5 and 7:

for the sum to be less than one you could have something like this:

$\frac{5}{24} +\frac{7}{24} =\frac{12}{24} =\frac{1}{2}$ -> where $\frac{1}{2}=0.5$ which is less than one.

for the sum to be equal to one you could have:

$\frac{5}{12} +\frac{7}{12} =\frac{12}{12} =1$

and for the sum to be greater than one you could have:

$\frac{5}{6} +\frac{7}{6} =\frac{12}{6} =2$ -> which is greater than one.
