Answer : The solution must be more than 1.

Step-by-step explanation :

Let us assume the two fractions that are both greater than 1/2.

Example 1:

The first fraction is, [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

The second fraction is, [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Now adding two fractions, we get:

[tex]\frac{3}{2}+\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{8}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=4[/tex]

Example 2:

The first fraction is, [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

The second fraction is, [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Now adding two fractions, we get:

[tex]\frac{5}{2}+\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{12}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=6[/tex]

Example 3:

The first fraction is, [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex]

The second fraction is, [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Now adding two fractions, we get:

[tex]\frac{2}{2}+\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=2.5[/tex]

From this we conclude that if we are adding two fractions that are both greater than 1/2 then the sum of the two fractions will always be greater than 1.

Hence, the solution must be more than 1.

A statement which must be true about the sum of the two fractions is; The sum of the two fractions must be greater than 1.

The fractions can be represented as follows;

  • x > 1/2

  • y > 1/2

The sum of both of the inequalities is;

  • x + y > (1/2) + (1/2)

  • x + y > 1

Therefore, the sum of the two fractions must be greater than 1.
