Answer 1

Heya !!!

This is your answer :----


Given rational numbers...

-5/36 and -7/12

We have to add them....

So.

$\frac{ - 5}{36} + ( - \frac{7}{12} ) \\ = \frac{ - 5}{36} - \frac{7}{12} \\ taking \: lcm \\ = \frac{ - 5 - 21}{36} \\ = \frac{ - 26}{36} = - \frac{13}{18}$
Hence, the answer is -13/18.

Hope it helps....
