Can the sum of two mixed numbers be equal to 2? Explain why or why not.

Sagot :

AL2006

-- A "mixed number" is (a whole number) plus (a fraction).

-- Two mixed numbers = (two whole numbers) and (two fractions).

-- The smallest whole number is ' 1', so when you add up all of that,
the smallest possible sum is      (2) plus (two fractions).

-- So the sum must always be greater than  2 .

============================================

THAT'S IF BOTH MIXED NUMBERS ARE POSITIVE .

If one of them is negative, then it's easy to do:

(3 and 1/2) + negative (1 and 1/2) = 2

(25 and 7/10) + negative (23 and 7/10) = 2
