Question

Evaluate: (-12/8)+9/16+(-2/4).
​

Answer 1

➤ Answer :-

$\dashrightarrow \sf \bigg( \frac{ - 12}{8} \bigg) + \frac{9}{16} + \bigg ( \frac{ - 2}{4} \bigg)$

LCM of 4,16 and 4 is 16.

$\dashrightarrow \sf \bigg( \frac{( - 12) \times 2}{8 \times 2} \bigg) + \frac{9}{16} + \bigg( \frac{( - 2) \times 4}{4 \times 4} \bigg)$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \bigg( \frac{( - 24)}{16} \bigg) + \frac{9}{16} + \bigg( \frac{( - 8)}{16} \bigg)$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \frac{( - 24) + 9 + ( - 8)}{16}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \frac{( - 24) + 9 - (8)}{16}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \frac{( - 23)}{16}$

$\Huge\therefore$The answer is $\sf\frac{(-23)}{16}$
