Question

Add the following rational numbers -7/8 and-1/-6

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM = -48

-7/8 + -1/-6 = -7 x 8 + -1 x -6 /-48

= -56 + 6 / -48

= - 50 /-48

=50 / 48

=25 / 24

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is -

$\frac{-17}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To add -7/8 and -1/-6

Follow some facts and method to find L.C.M

ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION WE HAVE TO ADD -7/8 AND -1/-16

As we know that after simplification of -1/-6 we get 1/6 as the minus signs cuts

So,

= $\frac{-7}{8} + \frac{-1}{-6}$

= $\frac{-7}{8} + \frac{1}{6}$

Now find the L.C.M of the denominators 8 and 6

That is 24

$\frac{-7}{8}$ × $\frac{3}{3}$ and  $\frac{1}{6}$ × $\frac{4}{4}$ [To make the denominators equal]

$\frac{-21}{24}$ and  $\frac{4}{24}$

So,

= $\frac{-7}{8} + \frac{1}{6}$

=  $\frac{-21}{24}$ + $\frac{4}{24}$

= $\frac{-21 + 4}{24}$

= $\frac{-17}{24}$
