Answer 1

Answer to this question is 1 13/72

Answer 2

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

              Given data:- $\frac{-11}{8} +\frac{7}{36}.$

              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,

        $\begin{array}{l}\frac{-11}{8}+\frac{7}{36} \\\\=\frac{-11 \times 9}{8 \times 9}+\frac{7 \times 2}{36 \times 2} \\\\=\frac{-99}{72}+\frac{14}{72} \\\\=\frac{-99+14}{72} \\\\=-\frac{85}{72}\\\\\end{array}$

       Hence we will get the value is $-\frac{85}{72} .$
