Add the rational numbers: (-9/24) and (-1/18) |
|
Answer» (-9/24) and (-1/18) Take the LCM of the denominators of the given rational numbers. LCM of 24 and 18 is 72 Express each of the given rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator. Now, (-9/24)= [(-9×3)/ (24×3)] = (-27/72) (-1/18)= [(-1×4)/ (18×4)] = (-4/72) Then, = (-27/72) + (-4/72) … [∵ denominator is same in both the rational numbers] = (-27+ (-4))/72 = (-27 – 4)/72 = (-31/72) |
