Mehek (mehek14):

pooja195 (pooja195):

Looks fine to me :/

Mehek (mehek14):

-13/8 right?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Yeah

hero (hero):

-(2+3/8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well if it is right then k12 doesn't have it as an answer choice

pooja195 (pooja195):

Is -19/8 a choice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

pooja195 (pooja195):

That is the correct answer then i cant think of another way to get another answer Since its a negative fraction you would subtract the 3 i think so -8 x 2= -16-3=-19/8 <---denominator stays the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should I put -19/8?

pooja195 (pooja195):

I would say that that's right provided the my explanation about :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks
