Their sums may be greater than one or equal one because even though their numerator is different, their denominator is the same. For example, 6/7 + 2/7, these two fractions when added will add up to 8/7 (1 and 1/7). Another example would be 1/4 and 3/4, when added they add up exactly 1.

Hope this helps c:
