Answer 2

Hello!

Here is the answer for your question!

Question:- Add 5/8 and -1/12​

------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:-

Adding both the fractions

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

= $\frac{5}{8}$ × $\frac{3}{3}$ + $\frac{-1}{12}$ × $\frac{2}{2}$    (changing denominator to 24 which is LCM of 8 and 12)

= $\frac{15}{24} + \frac{-2}{24}$

= $\frac{15 + (-2)}{24}$

= $\frac{15-2}{24}$

= $\frac{13}{24}$

So, the answer is $\frac{13}{24}$
