Question

15/4 + (-4 1/3) i cant figure it out

Answer 1

`-(10)/(12)`

Explanation:

First things first when adding or subtracting fractions you need to have a common denominator. In order to have a common denominator we need to find a common factor.

`(15)/(4) +(-4 (1)/(3))=`

`(45)/(12) +(-4(4)/(12) )`

When "adding" a negative and a positive you will actually subtract. So you are basically just subtracting here.

`(45)/(12) +(-4(4)/(12) )=`

`(45)/(12) -4(4)/(12)`

Lets first convert our mixed number into an improper fraction.

`(45)/(12) -4(4)/(12)=`

`(45)/(12) -(52)/(12)`

Now just subtract.

`(45)/(12) -(52)/(12)=`

`-(10)/(12)`

Good luck! You got this!

I can explain in more detail if you want! Just let me know!
