Answer 2

Answer:

The value of $\frac{1}{-15} +\frac{5}{-12}$ is $\frac{-29}{60}$.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $\frac{1}{-15} +\frac{5}{-12}$

To find : The value of above expression.

Solution :

• The given expression is, $\frac{1}{-15} +\frac{5}{-12}$  
• We have to find the value of above expression.
• To find the value of above expression, we have to do cross multiplication of the fractional numbers.
• The given expression is,

       $\frac{1}{-15} +\frac{5}{-12}$  

• By cross multiplication, we get

       $\frac{1}{-15} +\frac{5}{-12} = \frac{-12*1+5*-15}{-15*-12}$

• In multiplication, "-ve*+ve=-ve" and "-ve *-ve=+ve".

                     $=\frac{-12-75}{180}$        

                     $=\frac{-87}{180}$

• By reducing the fraction, we get

                     $=\frac{-29}{60}$

• ∴ The value of $\frac{1}{-15} +\frac{5}{-12}$ is $\frac{-29}{60}$.
