Answer: -1/8

Explanation:

3/4 + -3/8 + -1/4

Find the LCM of 4, 8, and 4

That's 8 so you make an equivalent fraction for all fractions so the denominator is 8.

3/4 = 6/8

-3/8 = -3/8

-1/4 = -4/8

Now the expression looks like this:

6/8 + - 3/8 + -4/8

6/8 - 3/8 - 4/8

6/8 - 7/8

-1/8

Hope that helped!
