Answer 2

Given,

• The rational numbers -5/6 and 7/12 are given.

To find,

• We have to find the sum of the rational numbers -5/6 and 7/12.

Solution,

We can simply find the sum of the rational numbers by simply adding the rational numbers.

Then,          = -5/6 +7/12

     Taking LCM, we get

                  =  (-10+7)/12

Simplifying, we get

                  = -3/12

                 = -1/4

Hence, the sum of the rational numbers  -5/6 and 7/12 is​ -1/4.
