Answer:

in short, Yes they are always rational.

here's why...

E.g. suppose \frac{c}{d} and \frac{a}{b} are fractions, that means that a,b,c,d are all integers, and b and d are not zero. finding the sum the numerator, and denominator would also have to be integers. the denominator of the sum can't be zero since the denominators of the fractions were not zero, and would give \frac{ad+bc}{bd} and since they are bound by addition (sum means addition) they must also be rational since eit would equal a bigger integer than initially had

Katy has 1 3/8 cups of flour. Her cookie recipe calls for 2 cups of flour. How many more cups of flour does she need for the rec
AleksAgata [21]

Subtract the amount you have from the amount you need:

2 cups - 1 3/8 cups

Subtract the whole cup first:

2 cups -1 cup = 1 cup

8/8 = 1

Rewrite 1 as 8/8 then subtract the 3/8 you have:

8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8

You need 5/8 cup more
