Answer 2

$\frac{ - 1}{24} + \frac{5}{16} + \frac{11}{12} \\ lcm \: \: of \: \: 24 \: \: 16 \: \: 12 \: \: is \: \: 48 \\ so \\ \frac{( - 1 \times 2)}{(24 \times 2)} + \frac{(5 \times 3)}{(16 \times 3)} + \frac{(11 \times 4)}{(12 \times 4)} \\ = \frac{ - 2}{48} + \frac{15}{48} + \frac{44}{48} \\ = \frac{ - 2 + 15 + 44}{48} \\ = \frac{15 - 2 + 44}{48} \\ = \frac{13 + 44}{48} \\ = \frac{57}{48} \: \: or \: \: 1 \ \frac{9}{48}$

So the answer is 57/48

Hope this helps you.
