Question

Correct me if I'm wrong: https://prnt.sc/fb7xlx

My Work:
5/12+8 = 3/12
5/20 = 3/12

5/-12+8 = 3/-12
5/-4 = 3/-12

Am I suppose to simplify the fractions?

Answer 1

@PuppyFlower yes you are supposed to simplify the fractions.

Answer 2

for 12:
5/20 / 5/5 = 1/4
3/12 / 3/3 = 1/4

Answer 3

Okay, so now that you've simplified the fraction, what does this tell you about the equation?

Answer 4

Answer 5
