Question

-1/6 + -3/7 =
Please need answers ASAP and please explain how to do it as well thanks

Answer 1

Negative Twenty Five over Forty Two.

Explanation:

Hey, It looks like you just have to add two fractions. i.e Negative One Sixth (-1/6) and Negative Three Seventh (-3/7).

First Step: Make the denomimators the same.

-1/6 will become -7/42

-3/7 will become -18/42

Second step: Add the two fractions.

-7/42 + -18/42 = -25/42

So there is your answer: -25/42

Answer 2

-25/42

Explanation:

you need to make the denominators equal, so find a number that is divisible by both 6 and 7 (i chose 42 because it’s the first number that comes to mind) you then multiply the numerator by the same number.

so -1/6 is multiplied by 7 on top and bottom to become -7/42, and -3/7 is multiplied by 6 of top and bottom to become -18/42.

then you add them together and you get -25/42

if possible you would simplify but for this one it’s not :)
