Make them have common denominators: -2/8 - 3/8 - 6/8 - 7/8 =
Now just do subtraction with numerators: -5/8 - 6/8 -7/8 = -11/8 - 7/8 = -18/8 = 
Simplify: -9/4 =
Make it a mixed fraction: -2 1/4 (D)

The answer is D, -2 1/4
first of all you're subtracting all the fractions so the final answer has to be negative, so A and B can be eliminated
then to subtract the fractions you can find a common denominator, in this case it would be 8, because 4 is a factor of 8
-1/4 = -2/8, and -3/4 = -6/8
given this, since the signs are all the same (all negative signs) you can just add instead of subtract, and then make the final answer negative again. (this would not work if you had some negative and some positive signs)
-2/8 - 3/8 - 6/8 - 7/8 = -18/8 = -8/8 - 8/8 - 2/8 = -2 1/4

hope this helps

Kerri correctly calculated the distance between point S (–3428) and point T (286) on a number line.
kogti [31]
Ok, you're dealing with a 1 dimensional number line.

To find the distance between these two points what you want to do is go from -3428 to 0, then from 0 to 286.

The distance between -3428 and 0 is 3428. The distance from 0 to 286 is 286.

Add up both these differences:

3428 + 286 = 3714

So the answer is in fact D, 3714.

Make a fraction division equation
guajiro [1.7K]
Hey there!
Let's make one and solve it.
Fraction division is solved by using a simple rule:
"keep, switch, flip!"

So if we have:
4/8 divided by 5/9

We keep the 4/8, switch the division to multiplication, and flip the 5/9 to 9/5:

4/8 * 9/5 = 36/40 = 18/20 = 9/10

Hope this helps!
