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
