Answer 2

Answer:

-23/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3/5 + - 8/2

Find the least common multiple of 5 and 2.

That would be 10.

That means we have to multiply the first fraction by 2/2 and the second one by 5/5

-3/5*2/2

Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

-6/10

Repeat with the second fraction.

-8/2*5/5

-40/10

Our new expression is

-6/10+-40/10

-46/10

Simplify

-23/5

As a mixed number that would be:

-4 3/5
