Say i have 1/4 + 1/4, sure if you follow the rules you end up with 2/4 or 50%, but what if you took the same problem and showed it with two pizzas with slices becoming the fraction.
You would get 2/8, two out of 8 slices that's been TAKEN ,1 from each pizza with 6 slices remaining or 25% TAKEN, so my question is are fraction set up to not allow comparison of two different fractions and instead comparison's are only allowed with two parts of the same whole?
