Question

$$\frac{-4}{13}-\frac{-5}{26}$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{3}{26}\approx -0.115384615$

Solution Steps

Fraction $\frac{-4}{13}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{4}{13}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{4}{13}-\frac{-5}{26}$$

Fraction $\frac{-5}{26}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{5}{26}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{4}{13}-\left(-\frac{5}{26}\right)$$

The opposite of $-\frac{5}{26}$ is $\frac{5}{26}$.

$$-\frac{4}{13}+\frac{5}{26}$$

Least common multiple of $13$ and $26$ is $26$. Convert $-\frac{4}{13}$ and $\frac{5}{26}$ to fractions with denominator $26$.

$$-\frac{8}{26}+\frac{5}{26}$$

Since $-\frac{8}{26}$ and $\frac{5}{26}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-8+5}{26}$$

Add $-8$ and $5$ to get $-3$.

$$-\frac{3}{26}$$

Factor

$-\frac{3}{26} = -0.11538461538461539$
