Answer 1

Answer:

11/19

Step-by-step explanation:

$(\frac{5}{4} + (-\frac{1}{3})) \div (\frac{5}{4} - (-\frac{1}{3}))\\\\\frac{\frac{5}{4}+\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)}{\frac{5}{4}-\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)}\\\\\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a,\:-\left(-a\right)=a\\=\frac{\frac{5}{4}-\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{3}}\\\\\mathrm{Join}\:\frac{5}{4}+\frac{1}{3}:\quad \frac{19}{12}\\\mathrm{Join}\:\frac{5}{4}-\frac{1}{3}:\quad \frac{11}{12}\\\\=\frac{\frac{11}{12}}{\frac{19}{12}}\\\\=\frac{11\times\:12}{12\times \:19}$

= 11/19
