Answer 1

Answer:

1/4[(1/5) + (-9/2)]

Step-by-step explanation:

1/20 + -9/8

= 1/(4*5) + -9/(4*2)

= 1/4[(1/5) + (-9/2)]

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of the expression.

    Given data:- $\frac{1}{20}+\frac{-9}{8}.$

    To find:- the simplest form.

    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.

          $=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{-9}{8}\\= \frac{1}{20}-\frac{9}{8}\\=\frac{1\times2-9\times5}{40}\\=\frac{-43}{40}.$

    Hence, the value will be $\frac{-43}{40}.$
