-1 3/10 + (-4 2/15)
To add these two fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 10 and 15 is 30.
For the first fraction, we can convert -1 3/10 to an improper fraction:
-1 3/10 = -10/10 - 3/10 = -13/10
For the second fraction, we can convert -4 2/15 to an improper fraction:
-4 2/15 = -60/15 - 2/15 = -62/15
Now, we can add the two fractions:
-13/10 + (-62/15)
To add fractions, we need to have the same denominator:
(-13/10)*(3/3) + (-62/15)*(2/2)
= -39/30 + -124/30
Now that they have the same denominator, we can add them:
= (-39 - 124)/30
= -163/30
Therefore, -1 3/10 + (-4 2/15) = -163/30
Simplify it
To simplify -163/30, we can try to reduce it to its simplest terms by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and dividing both by it.
The GCD of 163 and 30 is 1. Therefore, we can't simplify this fraction further.
So, -163/30 is already in its simplest form.
Ok thats wrong
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's simplify -163/30 correctly.
To simplify -163/30, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and divide both by it.
The GCD of 163 and 30 is 1. Therefore, we cannot simplify this fraction further.
Thus, the simplified form of -163/30 is still -163/30.
Bro..
Apologies for the confusion. Let's simplify -163/30 correctly.
To simplify -163/30, we need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
To find the GCD of 163 and 30, let's list out the factors:
Factors of 163: 1, 163
Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
The only common factor is 1. So, the GCD of 163 and 30 is 1.
Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 1:
(-163/1)/(30/1) = -163/30
Therefore, the simplified form of -163/30 is -163/30.
Your answer choices are.
-5 1/5
-5 1/6
-2 5/6
-5 13/30
Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's simplify -163/30 correctly to match the answer choices.
To simplify -163/30, we can first divide the numerator by the denominator to get a whole number and a proper fraction.
-163 รท 30 = -5 remainder 13
The whole number is -5, and the proper fraction is 13/30.
Therefore, -163/30 can be simplified as -5 13/30, which matches one of the answer choices provided. So, the correct simplified form is -5 13/30.
