Question

The sum of two fractions is always a fraction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

According to the definition of a fraction, “Fraction is a part of a whole”.

Therefore, the whole cannot be represented as a fraction as it will not satisfy the definition.

Hence, the sum of two fractions is not always a fraction as sometimes we can get a whole number while adding two fractions.

Ex. – $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1$

Therefore, the given statement is false.
