Answer 2

Given:

-2/3+3/8

To Find:

Find the sum

Solution:

We are given two fractions and we need to find the sum of the fraction, for which first we find the LCM of denominators and then accordingly adjust the numerator,

$=\frac{-2}{3}+\frac{3}{8}$

We need the LCM of 3 and 8 which is 24 now we will cross multiply the numerator with its other denominator,

$=\frac{-16+9}{24}\\=\frac{-7}{24}$

So the sum will be -7/24

Hence, the sum of -2/3+3/8 is -7/24.
