Question

Reduce to simplest form
-1/2-3/5​

Answer 1

-1 1/10

Explanation:

Find common denominators. Note that what you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator. In this case, the common denominator is 10:

(-1/2) * (5/5) = (-5/10)

(-3/5) * (2/2) = (-6/10)

Combine the terms:

(-5/10) + (-6/10) = (-5/10) - (6/10) = (-11/10)

-11/10 = -1 1/10

-1 1/10 is your answer.
