Is -1/3-4/5 positive, negative, or zero?

Answer 1

To determine whether the expression -1/3 - 4/5 is positive, negative, or zero, you can calculate the result:

-1/3 - 4/5 = (-5/15) - (12/15) = (-5 - 12) / 15 = -17/15

Since -17/15 is a negative fraction (the numerator is negative while the denominator is positive), the expression -1/3 - 4/5 is negative.
