Answer 2

here is your answer

a)ans:-

-2+ (3/8)+ (-1/5)

= -2 +3/8 -1/5

now I am cross multiplying first two terms

= -16+ 3/5 -1/5

= -13/8-1/5

now again cross mutiplying

= -65-8/40

= -73/40

b)ans:-

(2/3) + (-7/11) + (-1/4)

= 2/3 - 7/11 - 1/4

again by cross multiplying first two terms

= 22-21/33 - 1/4

= 1/33 - 1/4

again by cross multiplying

= 4-33/132

= -29/132
