Question

$$- \frac{ 6 }{ 5 } +(- \frac{ 8 }{ 3 } )$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{58}{15}\approx -3.866666667$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of $5$ and $3$ is $15$. Convert $-\frac{6}{5}$ and $\frac{8}{3}$ to fractions with denominator $15$.

$$-\frac{18}{15}-\frac{40}{15}$$

Since $-\frac{18}{15}$ and $\frac{40}{15}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-18-40}{15}$$

Subtract $40$ from $-18$ to get $-58$.

$$-\frac{58}{15}$$

Factor

$-\frac{58}{15} = -3\frac{13}{15} = -3.8666666666666667$
