Question

$$\frac{-7}{8}+\frac{5}{6}\rightarrow$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{1}{24}\approx -0.041666667$

Solution Steps

Fraction $\frac{-7}{8}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{7}{8}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{7}{8}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Least common multiple of $8$ and $6$ is $24$. Convert $-\frac{7}{8}$ and $\frac{5}{6}$ to fractions with denominator $24$.

$$-\frac{21}{24}+\frac{20}{24}$$

Since $-\frac{21}{24}$ and $\frac{20}{24}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-21+20}{24}$$

Add $-21$ and $20$ to get $-1$.

$$-\frac{1}{24}$$

Factor

$-\frac{1}{24} = -0.041666666666666664$
