Question

Write the solution in lowest terms.
(-1/8)+(-5/4)

Answer 1

What does "in lowest terms" mean?

Answer 2

it means if you get a fraction, you simplify the fraction.
example. If you get 4/8 you would divide top and bottom by 4 and get 1/2

if you get an improper fraction they may want you to write it as a mixed number.
