Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So its a rational no: so the rules are similar to those of a fraction except that its in the form p/q and the negative sign always appears in the numerator ( if any )

So the answer is :-

LCM of 12 and 16 = 48      ( denominator should be similar in addition and subtraction)

Next -9/16 = -27/48

         5/12=.  20/48

-27/48+20/48=-7/48
