Question

Srry again but what is this -1/3+-5/8

Answer 1

Answer:

7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/3+-5/8 = -1/3-5/8

find the LCD which is 24 so we mutiply -1/3 by 8 on both sides to get the 24 on the bottom so it'll be -8/24. Then we multiply -5/8 by 3 to get the same denominator so itll be -15/24. so (-8-(-15))/24 can also be re written as (-8+15)/24. so 15-8 (will give you the same answer) is 7 so its 7/24 and you can not simplify that fraction so that is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

-23/24

Step-by-step explanation:

get common denominator =24

-8/24 + -15/24

-8 + -15 = -23

keep bottom

-23/24
