I am having trouble adding fractions! Help would be lovely.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The problem is -2/15 + 5/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here's my work: 5/6 + 2/15 Common Denominator: 30 5/6 * 5/5= 25/30 2/15 * 2/2= 4/30 25/30 + 4/30 = 29/30 = - 29/30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Adding fractions can be very easy. Close but since 4/30 is supposed to be (-) You get -4/30+25/30=21/30

I'm sorry that I didn't help that much asja. You can see my other example

OpenStudy (anonymous):
