Question

PLEASE HELP!

Reduce to simplest form.
5/8 - (- 7/2)

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf 4(1)/(8) }`

Explanation:

`\sf =(5)/(8) - (-(7)/(2) )\\\\Rule : ( - *- = +)\\\\\=(5)/(8) +(7)/(2) \\\\LCM = 8\\\\\=(5+28)/(8) \\\\\=(33)/(8) \\\\=4(1)/(8)`

`\sf =(5)/(8)+ (7)/(2) \\\\=(5+28)/(8)`

`\sf =(33)/(8) \\\\=4(1)/(8)`

Hope this helped!
