I hope it's help you.....

Answer 2

➤ Answer :-

$\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{9}{( - 12)} + \dfrac{5}{8}$

Convert them into like fractions by taking the LCM of all the denominators i.e, (-12) and 8.

LCM of (-12) and 8 is 24.

$\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{9 \times ( -2)}{( - 12) \times ( - 2)} + \dfrac{5 \times 3}{8 \times 3}$

$\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{( - 18)}{24} + \dfrac{15}{24} = \dfrac{( - 18) + 15}{24}$

$\tt \longrightarrow \cancel\dfrac{( - 3)}{24} = \dfrac{( - 1)}{8}$

$\Huge\therefore$The answer is $\tt\dfrac{(-1)}{8}$

$\dashrightarrow$ Note :-

• While adding the fractions, if the denominators are unlike fractions, convert them into like fractions by taking LCM of denominators.
• If they are like fractions, we can add them directly, by adding the numerators.
