Answer:

5/24 is your answer

Explanation:

3/8 + (-1/6)

first, you must know that when adding a positive to a negative, you change the addition sign to a subtraction sign, that will get rid of that negative and now you will have this equation:

3/8 - 1/6

this is because you can't add a negative to a positive


now, find the common denominator, in this case, it is 24

now, 24/8 = 3, so multiply the numerator and denominator by three, you should get :

9/24

now, 24/6 = 4

4 multiplied by the numerator and denominator = 4/24

now subtract:

9/24 - 4/24 = 5/24
