Hi there!
Yes, if the two fractions are less than one, their sum can be greater than one. Take the example of 3/4 and 3/4. It is less than 1, but has a sum if 1 1/2.
However, their sum cannot be greater than 2. For that to happen, there would have to be a sum of at least 1 and 1, which are not fractions.

Hope this helps :)

Their sum can be greater than two. There is nothing that states that they couldn't be. All it states it that the two factions sums are less than 1. I hoped this helps

Answer:

I'm assuming we need to find the number of minute she as used. to do that we can right an inequality with m being the number of minutes

18+0.06m≥88.56

we then just solve this like we would with any other algebra equation, First we subtract 18 from both sides.

0.06m≥70.56

Then we dives by 0.06

m≥1176

Rania has used at least 1176 minutes

You said that. 2x - 9 = 7 . . . . . Add. 9. to each side: 2x = 16 . . . . . Divide each side by 2 : x = 8

a parallelogram has one angle that measures 40. what are the measures of the other three angles in the parallelogram?

KonstantinChe [14]

Since one side is 40°, you subtract that from 180.

180° - 40°= 140°.

So therefore your missing side lengths are 140, 40, and 140.

hopefully this helps
