We will get the value of $\frac{-3}{8} -\frac{7}{11} =-\frac{89}{88} .$

Step-by-step explanation:

• As per the question we have to evaluate the given data.

       Given data:- $\frac{-3}{8} -\frac{7}{11} .$

      To find:- Value of $\frac{-3}{8} -\frac{7}{11}.$

      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.

• Subtract the numerators over the denominators.

        Therefore,

          $\begin{array}{l}\frac{-3}{8}-\frac{7}{11} \\\\=\frac{-3 \times 11}{8 \times 11}-\frac{7 \times 8}{11 \times 8} \\\\=\frac{-33}{88}-\frac{56}{88} \\\\=\frac{-33-56}{88} \\\\=-\frac{89}{88}\end{array}$

       The question is to find the value of $\frac{-3}{8} -\frac{7}{11} .$
