Question

$$\frac{ 5 }{ -13 } + \frac{ 1 }{ 26 }$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{9}{26}\approx -0.346153846$

Solution Steps

Fraction $\frac{5}{-13}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{5}{13}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{5}{13}+\frac{1}{26}$$

Least common multiple of $13$ and $26$ is $26$. Convert $-\frac{5}{13}$ and $\frac{1}{26}$ to fractions with denominator $26$.

$$-\frac{10}{26}+\frac{1}{26}$$

Since $-\frac{10}{26}$ and $\frac{1}{26}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-10+1}{26}$$

Add $-10$ and $1$ to get $-9$.

$$-\frac{9}{26}$$

Factor

$-\frac{9}{26} = -0.34615384615384615$
