Answer:
-1 17/25
Solution with Steps
−65−1225=?
The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.
LCD(-6/5, 12/25) = 25
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.
(−65×55)−(1225×11)=?
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
−3025−1225=?
The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.
Then:
−30−1225=−4225
This fraction cannot be reduced.
The fraction
−4225
is the same as
−42÷25
Convert to a mixed number using
long division for -42 ÷ 25 = -1R17, so
−4225=−11725
Therefore:
−65−1225=−11725
