Question

5/3+(-7/6) reduce to simplest form

Answer 1

`(5)/(3) + (-(7)/(6))` reduced to the simplest form is
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

`(5)/(3) + (-(7)/(6))`

First, rearrange the fractions so that they have the same denominator. We do this by finding the common multiple of 3 and 6 and multiplying the numerators by the number of times it takes to get to the denominator when multiplying.

`(10)/(6)+(- (7)/(6) )`

Now, since 7/6 is negative, then it would just be like subtracting 7/6 from 10/6.

`(10)/(6) -(7)/(6) = (3)/(6)`

Now, all we have to do is reduce the fraction 3/6.

`(3)/(6)= (1)/(2)`

So, your final answer would be
`(1)/(2)`
