Infinitely many ways! 
Suppose you have the fraction 2/d.

<span>Pick </span>any<span> pair of integers a and b where b ≠ 0.</span>
Then 2b-ad is and integer, as is bd so that (2b - ad)/bd is a fraction.

Consider the fractions a/b and (2b - ad)/bd

<span>Their sum is </span>
a/b + (2b-ad)/bd = ad/bd + (2b-ad)/bd = 2b/bd = 2/d - as required.

<span>Since a and b were chosen arbitrarily, there are infinitely many possible answers to the question.</span>

Hi I really need help with this question
Nady [450]
Since it is as a ratio of 14:31 there has to be a factor of something. Let's assume this factor as x. 

Therefore,

14x + 31x = 90 
45x = 90
x = 2

So we have a factor of two. Plug x back into the equation. 
The larger angle is 31 * 2 = 62 degrees.
