Answer 2

Given:

We have given two rational numbers which are  $\frac{-9}{12} +\frac{5}{8}$.

To Find:

We have find the sum?

Step-by-step explanation:

• Rational number:A number is said to be a rational number if the given number in the form a by b where b is not equal to zero.
• Given number are  $\frac{-9}{12} +\frac{5}{8}$.
• To find the sum of numbers First of all we will find the L.C.M of denominator terms which are 12 and 8
• L.C.M of 12 and 8 is 24.

• Now we divide the denominator terms by 24 and now multiply the quotient by numerator terms and write it as

       $\frac{-9}{12} +\frac{5}{8} =\frac{-18+15}{24}$

• Now do the subtraction  of the numerator terms  because plus minu s will give minus which will led to

      $\frac{-9}{12} +\frac{5}{8} =\frac{-3}{24}=\frac{-1}{8}$

Hence, the addition of given number is $\frac{-1}{8}$
