Question

11 15/26 + [-17 5/13] =

Answer 1

11 15/26 + [-17 5/13] =

$11 \frac{15}{26} = \frac{301}{26}$

$-17 \frac{5}{13} = -\frac{226}{13}$

$\frac{301}{26} - \frac{226}{13}$

To subtract two fractions the denominators should be same

Least common denominator = 26

We multiply second fraction by 2

$\frac{301}{26} - \frac{452}{26}$

$\frac{301-452}{26}$

$\frac{-151}{26}$
