here is your answer!!!!!!

Answer 2

Concept:

Rational numbers are thos numbers which can be expressed in the form of a/b where b is not equal to zero and futher a,b are integers. When a rational number is converted into decimal form then they are either terminating or repeating decimal. A real number which fails to be represented as rational number is known as irrational number. Examples of rational number is mentioned below.

$\frac{2}{5},\frac{3}{7},\frac{100}{199}$

Too find:

Find the sum of rational numbers  $\frac{-5}{16}$ and  $\frac{7}{12}$.

Solution:

The given rational numbers are  $\frac{-5}{16}$ and  $\frac{7}{12}$.

$\frac{-5}{16}+\frac{7}{12} = \frac{(-5*3)+7*4}{48}$

             =$\frac{-15+28}{48}$

             =$\frac{13}{48}$

Hence, the final rational number obtained is $\frac{13}{48}$.
