Answer 1

Answer:

which is the following rational number is positive minus b upon 7

Answer 2

Answer: Sum of $-\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept: Fraction addition is done as follows:

• First we need to check if the fractions are like fractions(whose denominators are the same) or unlike fractions (whose denominators are not the same).
• If they are like fractions then the denominator of the sum and the numbers remain the same.
• The addition occurs in the numerator part i.e., we add the numerators only and put them in the numerator of the sum.
• Then just reduce the fractions to the lowest terms.

Now following the above steps, we simplify the given question in the following procedure-

Step 1: $-\frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{2} =\frac{(-3+1)}{2}$ (adding the top numbers)

                              $=-\frac{2}{2}$(putting the sum of the top numbers in the numerator)

                              $=-1$(after simplifying the fraction)

Final Ans: -1 is the sum of the given numbers.
