Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of -13/8 and 5/12 is  -13*3+5*2/24 (l.c.m of 8 and 12  is 24)

                                       =-29/24

difference of -13/8 and 5/12 is -13*3-5*2/24  (l.c.m of 8 and 12  is 24)

                                          =-49/24

on dividing -29/24 by -49/24 we get -29*-49/24*24  =1421/576
