Question

3/4 + (-1/2) + (-2/3)

Answer 1

Answer:

Okay so you are going to get -5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

what you are going to do first is look at your signs the plus and minus signs are there to try and mix you up. What you are doing is subtracting all three of these fractions... Okay?

3/4 - 1/2 - 2/3

What you need to do is turn 1/2 into 1/4 because when adding or subtracting fractions you need to have the same denominator.

Subtract:

3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4

Now you are going to have to multiply the tops and the bottom of 2/3 by four (you should get 8/12) and multiply 1/4 (top and bottom) by three (you should get 3/12). This allows you to subtract 2/3 and 1/4 to get a product of 5/12. You can not simplify this fraction any further so you have your answer!

-5/12

*EDIT

Don't forget the minus sign.
