Question

Help with this but dont give the answer like this 0.41667

Answer 1

The simplest form of the sum of these two fractions is 5/12.

How to reduce to the simplest form?

We start with the addition of two fractions:

8/3 + (-9/4)

First, we should have the same denominator in the two, we can use:

3*4 = 12 as the denominator, then:

8/3 + (-9/4) = 32/12 + (-27/12)

Now we have the same denominator in the two fractions, so we can add the numerators:

32/12 + (-27/12) = 5/12

Now we can't keep simplifying this, as 5 and 12 have no common factors, so this is the simplest form of the fraction.
