Question

-1/2 + 22/15 add pls explain step by step

Answer 1

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

          Given data:- $\frac{-1}{2} +\frac{22}{15} .$

          To find:- Value of the given expression.

          Solution:-

• We will take the LCM of the denominators, and make denominators the same.

• We will Convert the given fractions to equivalent fractions with the denominator as the LCM.

• Adding the numerators over the denominators.

        Therefore,

          $\begin{array}{l}\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{22}{15} \\\\=\frac{-1 \times 15}{2 \times 15}+\frac{22 \times 2}{15 \times 2} \\\\=\frac{-15}{30}+\frac{44}{30} \\\\=\frac{-15+44}{30} \\\\=\frac{29}{30}\end{array}$

    Hence we will get the value is $\frac{29}{30} .$

Answer 2

Given -

$\frac{-1}{2} + \frac{22}{15}$

To find -

Addition of $\frac{-1}{2} + \frac{22}{15}$

Solution -

LCM of 15 and 2 is 30

So, multiply 1\2 by 15\15 and 22\15 by 2\2 we get

= $\frac{-15}{30} + \frac{44}{30}$

= $\frac{-15+44}{30}$

= $\frac{29}{30}$

Hence ,

Addition of $\frac{-1}{2} + \frac{22}{15}$ is $\frac{29}{30}$ .
