Question

Hi! This is a pretty easy question, but for some reason my mind just is fried right now.

If you add decimals or fractions that have different signs, do you
A. Multiply the values
B. Add the Values
C. Subtract the Values
D. Divide the Values

Answer 1

C. Subtract the Values

For example: -3.2 and 2.2

If it is asked to add them,

The answer = -3+2 = -1

So, both have different signs and their values are subtracted

Again, -1/2 and 1/4

on adding them we get = -1/4
