Answer 2

Answer:

$=>-\frac{1}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$\frac{-7}{8}+\frac{5}{6}$

To simplify the expression we have to use the DMAS rule:

D - division ( ÷ )

M - multiplication ( × )

A - addition ( + )  

S - subtraction ( - )  

As we have,

$=> \frac{-7}{8}+\frac{5}{6}$

Now, we have to find the LCM:

$=> \frac{-7\times 3}{8\times 3}+\frac{5\times 4}{6\times 4}$

By further calculating it we get,

$=>\frac{-21}{24}+\frac{20}{24}$

Combining the fractions, we get

$=> \frac{-21+20}{24}$

$=>-\frac{1}{24}$

Hence, the required solution is $-\frac{1}{24} .$
