Question

What is the value of the expression 3/8 + (-4/5) + (-3/8) +5/4 (A) 0 (B) 1/20 (C) 9/20 OR (D) 2 4/5

Answer 1

The answer would be 9/20

Explanation:

To find this, first note that 3/8 and -3/8 would cancel each other out. So then we would have just two terms to add together. Give them like terms and then add them together.

-4/5 + 5/4

-16/20 + 25/20 = 9/20
