Please help me. What is the answer to this math problem?
Answer:
0 and -1, respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
To add or subtract fractions, they must be similar where the denominators are the same. If not, convert to similar terms by finding their least common denominators (LCD):
1) (+1/2) + (+2/3) + (-1 1/6) ⇒ LCD: 6
Divide the LCD by the denominator of each term, then multiply the result by the numerator to determine the equivalent fraction:
+3/6 + 4/6 - 7/6
= (3+4-7)/6
= 0/6
= 0
When the numerator is 0, the result is always 0.
2) - (+1/2) + (+2/3) + (-1 1/6)
= -3/6 + 4/6 - 7/6
= (-3 + 4-7)/6
= -6/6 ⇒ when dividing integers with unlike sign, the result is positive.
