Question

FIND (-8/3)+(-1/4)+(-11/6)+3/8-3

Answer 1

Answer:

-7 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator of 3, 4, 6, and 8 is 24; converting all of our fractions to that denominator and solving, we have

$-\frac{8}{3}+\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)+\left(-\frac{11}{6}\right)+\frac{3}{8}-3\\=-\frac{64}{24}+\left(-\frac{6}{24}\right)+\left(-\frac{44}{24}\right)+\frac{9}{24}-3\\\\=\frac{-64+(-6)+(-44)+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-70+(-44)+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-114+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-105}{24}-3 \\\\=\frac{-35}{8}-3\\ \\=-4\frac{3}{8}-3\\\\=-7\frac{3}{8}$

So our solution is -7 3/8
