Answer 2

Answer:

Question :-

Add -8/5 and -5/3.

Required Answer :-

$\frac{ - 49}{15}$

Solution :-

$\frac{ - 8}{5} + ( \frac{ - 5}{3} )$

we have to make their denominator equal

so we will multiply the denominator of -8/5 with -5/3 and then the denominator of -5/3 with -8/5

$\frac{ - 8 \times 3}{5 \times 3} +( \frac{ - 5 \times 5}{3 \times 5} )$

$\frac{ - 24}{15} + ( \frac{ - 25}{15} )$

Now we denominator as common

$\frac{ - 24 + ( - 25)}{15}$

$= \frac{ - 24 - 25}{15}$

$= \frac{ - 49}{15}$

Therefore your answer is -49/15
