Subtract : (5) from (-3/5)

Answer»

(5) from (-3/5)

We have:

= (5/1) – (-3/5)

= (5/1) + (additive inverse of -3/5)

= (5/1) + (3/5)

LCM of 1 and 5 is 5

Express each of the given rational numbers with the above LCM as the common denominator.

Now,

= [(5×5)/ (1×5)] = (25/5)

= [(3×1)/ (5×1)] = (3/5)

Then,

= (25/5) + (3/5)

= (25+3)/5

= (28/5)
