Answers
Answer:
Find the sum:
(i) 5/4 + (-11/4)
(ii) 5/3 + 3/5
(iii) -9/10 + 22/15
(iv) -3/(-11) + 5/9
(v) -8/19 + (-2)/57
(vi) -2/3 + 0
(vii) -2 1/3 + 4 3/5
Solution:
To solve this question, we will take the L.C.M of denominator or convert the given fractions into like fractions.
(i) 5/4 + (-11/4)
= 5/4 -11/4
= (5 - 11)/4
= - 6/4
= - 3/2
(ii) 5/3 + 3/5
Taking L.C.M of 3 and 5 , we get 15
5/3 + 3/5
= (5 × 5)/(3 × 5) + (3 × 3)/(5 × 3)
= 25/15 + 9/15
= (25 + 9)/15
= 34/15
(iii) -9/10 + 22/15
Taking L.C.M of 10 and 15 , we get 30
-9/10 + 22/15
= (- 9 × 3)/30 + (22 × 2)/30
= -27/30 + 44/30
= 17/30
(iv) -3/(-11)+ 5/9
Taking L.C.M of 11 and 9 , we get 99
-3/(-11)+ 5/9
= (-3 × 9)/(-99) + (5 × 11)/99
= 27/99 + 55/99
= 82/99
(v) - 8/19 + ( -2)/57
Taking L.C.M of 19 and 57, we get 57
-8/19 + ( -2)/57
= (-8 × 3)/(19 × 3) + (-2 × 1)/(57 × 1)
= -24/57 + (-2/ 57)
= (-24 - 2)/57
= -26/57
(vi) -2/3 + 0
Taking L.C.M of 3 and 1, we get 3
-2/3 + 0
= (-2 × 1)/3 + (0 × 3)/3
= -2/3 + 0/3
= (-2 + 0)/3
= -2/3
(vii) -

= -7/3 + 23/5
Taking L.C.M of 3 and 5, we get 15
= (-7 × 5)/15 + (23 × 3)/15
= -35/15 + 69/15
= (-35 + 69)/15
= 34/15
