Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-9/12+5/8

On taking L.C.M 24

-9/12+5/8= -18+15/24

= -3/24= -1/8 ANS.

I think u Understand the answer.

Answer 2

Given:

• $\frac{9}{-12}+\frac{5}{8}$

To Find:

• To simplify and find the answer in simplified form.

Solution:

• We should find the answer step by step using LCM as the first step.
• So, LCM of -12 and 8 is 24.
• We get the equation has, $\frac{\frac{9}{-12}*24+\frac{5}{8}*24}{24}$
• Let us simplify the above obtained equation one by one for a clear understanding.
• First consider, $\frac{9}{-12}*24 = -9*2 = -18$  → (1)
• Then, $\frac{5}{8}*24 = 5*3 = 15$ → (2)
• Adding equations (1) and (2) we get,
• $\frac{-18+15}{24}$ = -3/24 = -1/8
• $\frac{9}{-12}+\frac{5}{8}$  = -1/8

∴ The answer is -1/8
