Question

Simplify the expression -1/3 +(-3/5)

Answer 1

First you would divide -1/3 and you will get -0.333

Then divide -3/5 and you will get -0.6

Lastly add the -0.333 with the -0.6, and the answer would be -0.933

Answer 2

Answer:

$-\frac{14}{15}$ or $-0.933$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following expression and we are supposed to simplify the expression into one single fraction:

$-\frac{1}{3} +(-\frac{3}{5} )$

since both the given fractions are negative so the plus sign will also become negative when multiplied with them and give:

$-\frac{1}{3} -\frac{3}{5}$

Taking the LCM for both of these fractions to get:

$=\frac{-5-9}{15}\\ \\=-\frac{14}{15}$

Therefore, the simplest version of the given expression $-\frac{1}{3} +(-\frac{3}{5} )$ is $-\frac{14}{15}$ or $-0.933$.
