Question

Find : 9/ −12 + 5 /8​

Answer 1

Answer:

We will get the value of $\frac{9}{-12} +\frac{5}{8} =-\frac{1}{2} .$

Step-by-step explanation:

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

       Given data:- $\frac{9}{-12} +\frac{5}{8} .$

       To find:- Value of $\frac{9}{-12} +\frac{5}{8} .$

       Solution:-

• We will take the LCM of the denominators, and make denominators the same.

• We will Convert the given fractions to equivalent fractions with the denominator as the LCM.

• Adding the numerators over the denominators.

       Therefore,

         $\frac{9}{-12} +\frac{5}{8} \\\\\frac{-9}{12}+\frac{5}{20} \\\\=\frac{-9 \times 5}{12 \times 5}+\frac{5 \times 3}{20 \times 3} \\\\=\frac{-45}{60}+\frac{15}{60} \\\\=\frac{-45+15}{60} \\\\=\frac{-30}{60} \\\\=-\frac{1}{2}\end{array}$

   Here the question will be to find value of $\frac{9}{-12} +\frac{5}{8} .$

Answer 2

Answer:

0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

9/-12 + 5/8

9×8/-12×8 + 5×(-12)/8×(-12)

=72/(-96) + (-60)/(-96)

=12/(-96)

=-0.125

0 is neither positive nor negative so

answer = 0.125
