    balancing an equation
    The only way that I see to balance the following equation is to use fractions. Is there in fact a way to not have to use fractions?

    H2SO4 + NaOH (arrow pointing to the right) H2O + NaSO4

    If you ever have to use fractions, simply multiply the equation by a common denominator and the fractions will go away.

    However, you have made a mistake in the equation. This is the correct (unbalanced) equation:
