Answer» (i) Clearly, Denominators of the given numbers are positive The L.C.M. of denominator 7 and 7 is 7 We have, \(\frac{-5}{7}\, +\, \frac{3}{7}\) \(=\, \frac{-5+3}{7}\) \(=\, \frac{-2}{7}\) (ii) Clearly, Denominators of the given numbers are positive The L.C.M. of denominators 4 and 4 is 4 We have, \(\frac{-15}{4}\, +\, \frac{7}{4}\) \(=\, \frac{-15+7}{4}\) \(=\, \frac{-8}{4}\) \(=\, -2\) (iii) Clearly, Denominators of the given numbers are positive The L.C.M. of denominator 11 and 11 is 11 We have, \(\frac{-8}{11}\, +\, \frac{-4}{11}\) \(=\, \frac{-8-4}{11}\) \(=\, \frac{-12}{11}\) (iv) Clearly, Denominators of the given numbers are positive The L.C.M. of denominator 13 and 13 is 13 We have, \(\frac{6}{13}\, +\, \frac{-9}{13}\) \(=\, \frac{6-9}{13}\) \(=\, \frac{-3}{13}\) |
