Advertisements
उत्तर
`(- 6)/25 "from" (-8)/5`
This means: `(-8)/5 - (-6)/25`
Subtracting a negative is equivalent to addition:
`(-8)/5 - (-6)/25 = (-8)/5 + 6/25`
The least common denominator (LCD) of 5 and 25 is 25. Rewrite the fractions with a denominator of 25:
`(-8)/5 = (-8xx5)/(5xx5) = (-40)/25`
Now the expression becomes: `(-40)/25 + 6/25`
Add the numerators: `(-40)/25 + 6/25 = (-40+6)/25 = (-34)/25`
`(-34)/25`
