Answer: 1/8 + -3/16 = -1/16

Explanation:

First, multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/8 by 2.

1/8 + -3/16

1 x 2 = 2

8 x 2 = 16

2/16 + -3/16

Next, turn the + and - into one -.

2/16 + -3/16

2/16 - 3/16

Finally, solve 2/16 - 3/16! We will get a negative number.

2/16 - 3/16 = -1/16

1/8 + -3/16 = -1/16
