Question

What is -3/4 + 3/8? Thanks.

Answer 1

Answer:

$- \frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we change both denominators to the LCM (lowest common multiple) which is 8.

$- \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{8} = - \frac{6}{8} + \frac{3}{8}$

Since the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators.

$\frac{ - 6 + 3}{8}$

$\frac{ - 3}{8}$

or it can be written as

$- \frac{3}{8}$
