Question

5/8+3/4
______

-2/3-5/6

Answer 1

Answer:

-11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1. FIND the LCM (Lowest common multiple)

$= \frac{5}{8} + \frac{3}{4} \\ \\ = \frac{5 + 6}{8} \\ \\ = \frac{11}{8}$

Then you say to your self, How many 8's go into the LCM which is 8... The answer is 1, still using the first fraction (5/8) you say 1 x 5 with gives you 5 as you see above.

and so the same for 3/4.

And you get 11/8

The second part:

$= \frac{ - 2}{3} - \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 4 -5 } {6} \\ \\ = \frac{ - 9}{6}$

The it becomes:

$\frac{11}{8} \div \frac{ - 9}{6}$

put that in the calculator and the answer is...
