Answer:

7/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-1/5 + 3/8

Hint: | Put the fractions in -1/5 + 3/8 over a common denominator.

Put -1/5 + 3/8 over the common denominator 40. -1/5 + 3/8 = (-8)/40 + (5×3)/40:

(-8)/40 + (5×3)/40

Hint: | Multiply 5 and 3 together.

5×3 = 15:

(-8)/40 + 15/40

Hint: | Subtract the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction.

-8/40 + 15/40 = (-8 + 15)/40:

(-8 + 15)/40

Hint: | Subtract 8 from 15.

-8 + 15 = 7:

Answer:  7/40
