\[\frac{ 5 }{ -8}+\frac{ 5 }{ 3}\]
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
ok so 5/(-8)=-5/8
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
multiply first fractor by 3/3. tell me what you get
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

you neeed to make demonominators the same
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the denominator will be 24
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
yes
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
so you have -15/24 + 40/24
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

Yes, that problem can be turned into a mixed fraction. DO you know how to do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so how many times does 24 go into 25?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right! So our big number ( whole number is 1 ) and we know our denominator is going to be 24, so that means we have this!
\(1\dfrac{?}{24}\)
sammixboo (sammixboo):
To find what does in the question mark, just subtract 25 - 24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its going to be \[1\frac{ 1 }{ 24 }\]
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
yes

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 thank you :)
