Answer 1

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

           Given data:- $\frac{-1}{2} +\frac{5}{12} .$

           To find:- Value of the given expression.

           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.

• Adding the numerators over the denominators.

       Therefore,

        $\begin{array}{l}\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{5}{12} \\\\=\frac{-1 \times 6}{2 \times 6}+\frac{5}{12} \\\\=\frac{-6}{12}+\frac{5}{12} \\\\=\frac{-6+5}{12} \\\\=-\frac{1}{12}\end{array}$

      Hence we will get the value is $-\frac{1}{12} .$
