Question

What are two fractions that have a sum greater than 6 and a difference less than 5??

Answer 1

Explanation:

5/1 and 3/2

5/1 + 3/2 = 10/2 + 3/2 = 13/2 = 6 1/2

so, the sum is greater than 6.

5/1 - 3/2 = 10/2 - 3/2 = 7/2 = 3 1/2

so, the difference is less than 5.

Answer 2

a = 6
b = 3/4

These two fractions have a sum greater than 6 and a difference less than 5.
